We expect the execution of key initiatives in the coming year, such as the licensing of network content in international markets, monetization of new original series, and the continued shift to a stadium strategy for WWE\u2019s premium live events, will further expand the reach of our brands and enhance the value of our content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WWE also highlighted the 2022 outlook. They believe they will break revenue records once again with an increase in live events, and growing revenue from custom content.
