In recent news as stated on eWn, Nick Khan, the executive head of WWE, and a group of Netflix officials were in attendance at the WWE Monday Night Raw event held last evening at The Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.
Intriguing backstage details from last evening’s event have been unveiled by Pwinsider.
They stated that the turnout of such a high number of executives was so substantial that multiple rows in the stadium had to be used to accommodate them.
During the live screening on USA Network, it was reportedly noted that these executives were positioned in up to five rows back from commentators Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett. A handful of these executives additionally viewed the event from an executive suite within the Toyota Arena.
Interestingly, representatives from Sony alongside various other film and television firms were also in the crowd at the WWE Raw event, with Ontario’s close proximity to Hollywood being a possible reason.
There was much backstage chatter and anticipation about the presence of these Hollywood heavyweights, particularly because a good number of the WWE Superstars now are represented by Paradigm Talent. This has sparked a growing interest in WWE talents within the entertainment circuit due to the Endeavor takeover.
But, there seemed to be a minimal backstage conversation among the talents regarding the forthcoming Vince McMahon docuseries, due to premiere tonight at midnight on Netflix.
Regarding ticket sales, last night’s WWE Monday Night Raw was a complete sellout with over 8,600 tickets distributed prior to the event. There were few ringside seats that got released late, costing around 0 and these too found immediate takers.
Lastly, the decision to cage Dominik Mysterio in a shark cage for the Women’s World Title Match at WWE Bad Blood 2024, had been pre-planned for several months and was not a spur of the moment decision.
