Speaking with numerous contacts surrounding Khan, one of WWE’s potential explorations is to engineer a collaboration with other professional wrestling promotions. That is an area WWE rarely explored during McMahon’s four-plus decades of leadership, so it represents a new realm for Khan to make a lasting impact. He was the one responsible for giving Levesque the green light to work with then-TNA Wrestling President Scott D’Amore, which led to emerging star Jordynne Grace–who is the TNA Knockouts champion–making an appearance in the women’s Royal Rumble match this past January.

The ambitious Khan specializes in event-driven entertainment, creating interest in each event. Building off that mentality, multiple contacts close to Khan have confirmed his goal to expand WWE intellectual property, specifically in Las Vegas, a city that loves entertainment. Vegas, of course, hosted WrestleMania IX at Caesars Palace in 1993, an event where Khan served as an usher. While a Vegas residency is possible, even more likely is WWE IP on slot machines at the airport and across the strip.

Interested in the entirety of a business, Khan has narrowed his focus onto WWE. He is a forward-thinking executive, but his personal touch has helped power his success. Both Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and CM Punk have credited Khan as the man primarily responsible for their respective returns. Speaking with numerous associates of Khan, each person details Khan’s truly genuine approach.

Khan is the driving force behind WWE. He plans on taking the global brand to places it has never been, quite a feat for the most powerful professional wrestling company in the world.

“The only prediction to make is that, either there or somewhere else, he’ll continue to grow,” said Skipper. “He’s still quite a young man. We’ll hear from Nick for a long time.”

Them doing that NXT PLE at the UFC Apex arena or whatever you call it is definitely a test for something that fits in with what they're saying in this article. Rotating TV between Florida and Vegas to change up the audience and vibe might be a good move but logistically probably a nightmare

We're probably looking at a time of WWE that's going to overtake the Attitude Era in terms of popularity. In 20 years, provided the company is still around, they'll be talking about this era as the one that stands out.
