WWE is in talks with state gambling regulators in Michigan and Colorado to legalize betting on high-profile matches.
WWE has held discussions with state gambling regulators in Colorado and Michigan to legalize betting on scripted match results, sources said.
WWE is working with the accounting firm EY to secure scripted match results in hopes it will convince regulators there's no chance of results leaking to the public, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. Accounting firms PwC and EY, also known as Ernst & Young, have historically worked with award shows, including the Academy Awards and the Emmys, to keep results a secret.
A WWE spokesperson declined to comment. A spokesperson for EY couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Gambling regulators in Michigan and Colorado didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.If WWE succeeds in its bid to legalize gambling on matches, it could open the door for legalized betting on other guarded, secret scripted events, such as future character deaths in TV series.
