Khan, who's led the company to record revenue profits, joined the WWE in 2020.

On Tuesday, the now-WWE President was a guest on The Pat McAfee Show, detailing the new deal with Netflix.

During his visit, Khan revealed Monday Night Raw might not even air on Mondays on certain weeks.

"At this moment in time, it remains Monday Night Raw," Khan .

"But keep in mind, we got 10 and a half months until this deal is up and running, so we're looking at what you're looking at and what everyone else is looking at."

The financial expert explained Raw's superior competition on Monday nights, especially with other sports.

With a mix of gambling and the NFL, it could be hard for the WWE to lure viewers away from football.

"You have the proliferation of gambling with Monday Night Football, you have an enhanced Disney package, better games, all credit to Jimmy Pitaro, the godfather as Pat, you and I call him," Khan continued.

"You've got the ManningCast. This year it was on ABC and ESPN Monday Night Football. You got last season the playoff game that they got I believe was Tom Brady at the Cowboys a season before, whatever that was.

"You also have the College National Championship, football, and groups on Mondays. So you got a lot of Mondays where there's stiff competition.

"That said, even against Alabama-Michigan and the Washington-Texas game a few weeks ago, Monday Night Raw did a .6 in the 18-49 demo, which is a massive rating against big competition.

"If we stay on Mondays, it'll work, if we move it to a different day, we think it'll work too."

Netflix's deal with the WWE starts in 2025.

It will cost the company over $5 billion.

Currently, Raw airs on USA Network.
