WWE Q2 2018 Reax

Read on for my thoughts on WWE's latest financial release.

WWE reported record revenue, and expects to further break records by the end of the year:

- Live events are really flat. It could be worth cutting back the number they do when they have the new TV deals.

- Wowwww. What's happening with consumer products??

- Sponsorships are really doing well for the company.

WWE, unsurprisingly, once more broke records with its stock price after this financial release.

WWE followed the financial release with a conference call, recapped here:
- I'm curious what other events they're planning. I know they're looking to go back to Saudi Arabia toward the end of the year.

- Yeah, Tout was a bust. I hope they learned their lesson after that and their WWE Universe community site.

- Network subscriptions are struggling. They need to really re-evaluate things.

- WWE's going to be swimming in pools of money no matter what they book.

- Interesting. What other programming do they have in mind? More Network series hopefully.

- NXT UK is different from Raw and Smackdown Live. I don't think they'll be on the same deal.

- I don't necessarily think we'll see NXT UK "become" NXT Europe, but there are definitely long-term plans for the continent.

- Triple H REALLY wants to further expand performance centers to other countries and build NXT brands there.

More wrestling coming up.
