We've heard rumblings that this might be the case but WWE has announced today that WWE Studios - the company's motion picture production arm - will be expanding its mandate to scripted, non-scripted, family and animated television and digital content. There's currently no word on what form that will take but it's being overseen by WWE Studios President Michael Luisi.
"Given the size of our fan base and their appetite for WWE programming well beyond our core in-ring shows Monday Night Raw and SmackDown LIVE, this is the ideal time to further establish the WWE brand with new genres across platforms," said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO. "WWE Studios is open for business with this new TV and digital initiative."
WWE has found great success with reality shows like Total Divas and Total Bellas on E! and an Andre the Giant documentary is coming to HBO in 2018. Whether or not members of the RAW and SmackDown Live rosters will be involved in any capacity but you have to believe that at least some of these shows will be wrestling themed in nature. What do you think of this news?
