Nikki Garcia to Co-Host Netflix Hot Dog Contest

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia (formerly Nikki Bella) will co-host the live competitive eating event 'Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef' on Netflix, featuring hot dog champions Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi in their first face-off in 15 years. The event, set for September 2 at 12 PM PT, will also include commentary by Rob Riggle, Cari Champion, and Chris Rose, along with two undercard matches featuring competitive eaters Matt Stonie and Leah Shutkever. This highly anticipated showdown comes after Chestnut was banned from the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest due to a conflict with brand exclusivity rules. Both competitors express excitement for the match, emphasizing the significance of their rivalry and its long history. Netflix plans to expand its live sports offerings further, including WWE programming and NFL games in the coming years.
