WWE / Disney Update, Vision / Oba Segment Reaction (Patreon)

Regarding TKO President Mark Shapiro's comments about a potential WWE-Disney partnership for 2027, WrestleVotes on Fightful Select reached out to a source for additional context.

We're told the Disney discussions are not new. WWE has been interested in exploring a relationship with Disney since before the ESPN deal came into play.

While nothing is official, to the best of the source's knowledge, we're told that discussions have taken place about more than just WWE-branded events happening at Disney properties in Orlando, Florida. One idea is using the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, which has a 9,500-seat arena that could be used for WWE events and potential 'festivals' or larger fan experiences. We're also told WWE has considered concepts similar to ESPN Fan House.

A source also SPECULATED that a WWE-themed Disney cruise line experience could make business sense down the road.

We're told that WWE talents are expected to begin appearing on Disney+ programming over the next year.Vision/Oba Segment ReactionWrestleVotes on Fightful Select was told there was definitely backstage chatter amongst personnel following the segment with Oba Femi and The Vision faction on the September 7th WWE Raw, specifically about Femi brushing off Bronson Reed when Reed put his foot on Femi's back.We've learned that moment was not written into the segment, and it caught some backstage off guard. WrestleVotes asked around and was told that people caught it, and some of them did not like it.
