Gabe Spitzer says the partnership is boosting WWE’s global reach even as the Aug. 31 episode missed Netflix’s weekly top ten.
- Netflix Vice President of Global Live Sports and Entertainment Gabe Spitzer expressed satisfaction with the WWE partnership, stating the company is "thrilled with the results so far" after roughly 18 months of collaboration.
