WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan recently spoke with Brock Radke of The Las Vegas Sun to promote the upcoming WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, which will be held on Saturday, August 21 from Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.
Khan noted that WWE paid close attention to NCAA March Madness and once that brought people back to Vegas following the COVID-19 pandemic closures, the company knew they could draw a crowd and help jumpstart the Vegas economy.
“We were paying close attention to March Madness because there was a thought that people might not be going back to Las Vegas [to bet and watch games] because there was nothing to go back to,” Khan said. “But once March Madness hit, the occupancy rate skyrocketed. That was our moment of [understanding] if we have an event, it will get people back, and it’s an opportunity to also help jumpstart the Vegas economy.”
