WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia will sink her teeth into the world of competitive eating next month as part of an upcoming Netflix special. Joey Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef will stream on Netflix on September 2 and will feature a stacked card of competitive eaters. Garica will be joined by actor/comedian Rob Riggle, broadcaster Cari Champion and sportscaster Chris Rose.
The titular showdown will see Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi face off in a battle to see who can eat the most hot dogs. The pair last went head to head in September 2009 and Kobayashi stomached 93 dogs to Chestnut’s 81.
The main event will be preceded by two undercards matches. Competitive eater, YouTuber and 2015 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest winner Matt Stonie will face an opponent yet to be announced, while another match will feature Guinness World Record holder for eating Leah Shutkever.
WWE On Netflix
The presence of the WWE Hall of Famer on a Netflix production is just a taste (pardon the pun!) of what’s to come for the streaming giant. This coming January, Monday Night RAW will move to Netflix, marking an end to over 30 years on broadcast television. John Cena has been confirmed for RAW’s premiere on Netflix as the WWE icon will kick off his retirement tour.
Fans in the U.S. will have access to Monday Night Raw each week, while those outside of the States will receive Raw, SmackDown, WWE NXT, and Premium Live Events. Netflix will not cover monthly PLEs in areas where deals are already in place with other distributors, such as India.Â
