Nick Khan Was At This Week's WWE SmackDown
The WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer was present at Friday's blue brand outing.
In a somewhat unusual move, Nick Khan was reportedly backstage at Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown.
As per the usually reliable @WrestleVotes, the WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer was in attendance at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center for the company's most recent blue brand outing.
There's no word on why Khan was at SmackDown, although he seemingly spent plenty of time with Vince McMahon across Friday. What is known, is that Khan being at WWE TV isn't a regular thing.
Source states WWE president Nick Khan was backstage in Philadelphia last night for SmackDown, and was involved w/ Vince & Co throughout the day. Source wasn’t sure the nature of the meetings, but went on to say Khan being at TV isn’t an everyday thing.

Of course, Friday's SmackDown was the go-home show before tonight's Extreme Rules PPV.
For Extreme Rules, the current card for the event looks like this:
- Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. 'The Demon' Finn Balor in an Extreme Rules Match
- SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair
- Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Alexa Bliss
- United States Champion Damian Priest vs. Sheamus vs. Jeff Hardy
- SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. The Street Profits
- Liv Morgan vs. Carmella
Given the usual stipulation-heavy nature of the annual Extreme Rules PPV, it remains to be seen whether WWE adds any stipulations or gimmicks to some of these bouts before the show starts. There have been rumblings that the US Title contest may end up being a Tables Match, although that has yet to be made official.
