WWE also has expanded its programming search beyond wrestling, sources said. That could include some professional team sports, sources said.

Comcast executives are taking the lead on the negotiations, which have been occurring over the past few months. WWE has retained Sucherman Consulting Group, executive recruiters with offices in New York and Los Angeles, to hire 200 employees to staff the network."
