Nick Khan Comments on WWE Always Being The Underdog Against Competition

A recent episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast featured WWE President Nick Khan as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about his belief that WWE is always the underdog when it comes to competition from rival promotions.

“We’re always the underdog at WWE. We always feel that people underestimate us, that we’re looked down upon, and we like it that way. Bet against us, we prefer that, and allow us to show you what we can do. If you look at the stock price now, it’s far in excess of what it was when we all started together five years ago. We’re quite proud of that. At the same time, we have to keep re-earning our keep on a daily basis here. We feel like it’s a good moment, but we feel like there is a lot of room for growth.”

As noted before, former WWE co-CEO Stephanie McMahon has been working on plans to launch a new podcast series this Spring.

WWE provided an update earlier today announcing that this new podcast is titled “What’s Your Story?” and features McMahon as the host.

It was also announced that this new podcast series will be officially premiering on Thursday, April 17th.

WWE’s official website:

WWE & Fanatics partner to launch “What’s Your Story?” podcast hosted by Steph McMahon
April 16, 2025 – WWE and Fanatics today announced the launch of “What’s Your Story?” hosted by WWE icon Steph McMahon, with new episodes debuting every other week. The first episode of “What’s Your Story?” premieres Thursday, April 17 and will feature UFC President and CEO Dana White.
“‘Stephanie’s Places’ on ESPN+ inspired me to help tell the stories that shape who we are as people,” said McMahon. “This podcast is the perfect medium to do just that, in a very informal environment, where we can all just be ourselves.”
On “What’s Your Story?”, Steph, alongside her co-host and best friend Elyse, will sit down with some of the most influential figures in sports, business and entertainment to uncover their personal stories of hardship and success. Along the way, Steph will share never-before-heard stories about her own journey, professional career, growing up in the WWE and more. New episodes will be available across all audio platforms and WWE’s YouTube channel, which has amassed more than 108 million subscribers.
In March, WWE announced that Fanatics will partner on producing and distributing all WWE podcasts, strengthening an already successful partnership between the two brands, which includes global e-commerce, licensed merchandise and memorabilia, and more. The expanded partnership includes the recent launch of podcasts such as “What Do You Wanna Talk About” hosted by WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, “The Raw Recap Show” hosted by Megan Morant and Sam Roberts, and others.
