WWE chief executive Nick Khan has revealed that the company is holding "conversations" about a new UK broadcast rights deal.
BT Sport - soon to be rebranded TNT Sports - has been the UK home of WWE shows since 2020, replacing Sky Sports - the UK broadcaster for the previous 30 years.
The exact length of that deal has not been disclosed, but in a conference call with investors, Khan's admission that talks are ongoing suggests that the BT arrangement may expire at the end of the year.
"We're having conversations about both the core content rights and the WWE Network now with the buyers in the UK," he said.
"Part of the reason for having the Money in the Bank event [on] July 1 at The O2 Arena in London is so the buyers can see our product live - the ones who haven't seen it yet.
"It's a heck of a lot easier for all of us once people have, for them to understand what sort of entertainment it is, as opposed to us articulating to them what we believe it is."
He added: "We're open to business, in terms of Network and the core content rights."
WWE Network is not currently carried on traditional pay TV platforms in the UK but can be accessed through the WWE website for a monthly fee. body check tags ::
