TKO Group has been making headlines ever since the news of the new deal with the popular streaming platform, Netflix, surfaced. Recently, WWE President, Nick Khan had an interview at the Pat McAfee Show where he revealed the projected course for the Red Brand after the deal with Netflix.

Khan threw light on how the competition has remained stiff around Mondays. However, he’d go on to express his confidence in the Monday Night Raw programming that managed to garner them a 0.6 rating in the 18 to 49 demography, during the big football games. As a result, Raw would continue to remain on the Mondays.
