WWE has hosted a large variety of shows across the globe in the past few years, and according to WWE’s Stephanie McMahon, plans for more shows are only continuing to open up.
During a recent appearance alongside co-CEO Nick Khan at the Wells Fargo TMT Summit (via Post Wrestling), McMahon expressed her hope that WWE can begin establishing Performance Centers in different areas of the world, including even potentially creating a World Cup-style scenario.
“In addition to that, international is the focus for us, as we have discussed in the past but now we really have the opportunity to create what we call ‘global localization’ or ‘glocal’ where we can create local Performance Centers with local talent, replicate the lines of business that we have here in WWE and do it on a much smaller scale but ultimately, hopefully that’ll ladder up into the bigger product and potentially then creating a World Cup-type scenario which would be fun and exciting,” said McMahon. “It also then of course is an opportunity for talent to rotate throughout and we can have local stars that can ultimately come up to the main roster of WWE.”
McMahon also briefly touched on the company’s deal with Foxtel in Australia, and revealed that they are hopeful to bring a stadium show to the country at some point in the future. Previously, the last WWE event in Australia was the Super Show-Down, that was held in 2018.
“You look at our new deal in Australia with Foxtel, where we need to bring a stadium event to Australia as well and how are we looking at that in terms of our international Premium Live Events,” McMahon said. “How does that work in terms of our domestic strategy?… How are we gonna be able to maximize our opportunities there?”
