Chris Kaiser, EVP of WWE television, told the SBJ, "What we ultimately want to do here at WWE is tell compelling stories that our fans will love, but we also want to tell stories that, if you're not a WWE fan, you will also love. We want to super-serve our fans as always, because we do have that built-in universe, but we also want other people to discover us and come back."

WWE's NIL (Next In Line) program began in 2021. The NIL program provides a pathway for collegiate athletes to break into WWE. Individuals under the NIL program have access to several resources, including the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. 

Current NIL participants include Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson, who recently appeared on "WWE NXT" programming; basketball players and twin sisters Hanna and Haley Cavinder; and former college football player Joe Spivak, who performs on "NXT" as Tank Ledger. WWE added 15 new collegiate athletes to its NIL program earlier this year.
