Earlier today WWE co-Presidents Michelle Wilson and George Barrios took part in a WWE investor call to discuss WWE’s newly announced TV deals with FOX and NBC Universal.

Pro Wrestling Sheet was on the call and is reporting that Wilson had the following to say in regards to what additional WWE content could be coming to FOX as part of their newly announced SmackDown Live deal:

Those absolutely have been in discussions with Fox. There have been discussions around additional promotional programming that would highlight other activities in WWE. So those are certainly very positive discussions that are taking place — both on FS1 and Fox Broadcast.

Wilson went on to note that the details of those kinds of opportunities have been laid out in their new deal with FOX but did not elaborate further.

Pro Wrestling Sheet noted that based on sources they have spoken with it sounds like WWE NXT could find a home on FOX Sports 1, although that is unverified.

The call also included updates on WWE’s distribution in the UK and India with it being noted that they expect to have a new UK TV deal done by the end of this year. Their new Indian TV deal should be signed sometime in early-2019.
