I really don't like the Network logo. Do you think they'll switch to that full time? Especially as they never used any for of WWE logo on the Wrestlemania 31 location reveal.

From what I can see they used the new wwe network logo on the reveal for wrestlemania 31. I like it personally.

If they do use it I can see a new undisputed wwe world championship belt debut after wrestlemania

That's brilliant that they have tried to make it a surprise big announcement and then sent the email to the media saying "Announcement of WWE Network". Did they expect it not to get out?

WWE Network will also include groundbreaking original programming, reality shows, documentaries, classic matches and more than 1,500 hours of video on demand at launch. 


Fans can subscribe to WWE Network beginning at 9 am ET on Monday, February 24 at WWE.com, and for a limited time will be offered a free one week trial. WWE Network, the first 24/7 network delivered directly to fans through over-the-top digital distribution, will be available on desktops and laptops via WWE.com. WWE Network will also be available through the WWE App on: Amazon’s Kindle Fire devices; Android devices such as Samsung Galaxy; iOS devices such as Apple iPad and iPhone; Roku streaming devices; Sony PlayStation® 3 and Sony PlayStation® 4; and Xbox 360. Availability on additional devices, including Xbox One and select Smart TVs, will follow this summer. 


“Today is a historic day for WWE as we transform and reimagine how we deliver our premium live content and 24/7 programming directly to our fans around the world,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “WWE Network will provide transformative growth for our company and unprecedented value for our fans.” 


WWE Network will also offer fans a revolutionary second screen experience for all original programming and live events via the WWE App, similar to the interactive fan experience currently available for flagship TV programs Raw® and SmackDown® 


WWE collaborated with MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM) to build a powerful solution for delivering 24/7 WWE content to fans. MLBAM will provide its industry-leading technology services, including video streaming infrastructure, application development and operational support for reliable cross-platform distribution. 


MLBAM has been at the forefront of streaming technology for more than a decade, powering its own live video subscription product since 2002. Last year, MLBAM managed live video content for more than 25,000 events, covering 80,000 hours of broadcast programming, across its sports and entertainment partners. 


“We applaud WWE for this bold, timely and strategic move to fully optimize the power and potential of live entertainment,” said Bob Bowman, President and CEO, MLBAM. “We are proud to work with WWE to help provide its millions of loyal fans with unencumbered access to distinctive and engaging live content across the devices they use most.” 


WWE Network is scheduled to launch in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Nordics by the end of 2014/early 2015. 


Programming Highlights 


WWE Network will officially launch with the live Monday Night Raw Post-Show on Monday, February 24 at 11:06 pm ET, and fans will instantly have access to the most comprehensive WWE video-on-demand library upon signing up.

WrestleMania Rewind – a comprehensive look back at the most groundbreaking matches and dramatic moments in WrestleMania history, including never-before-seen footage and in-depth interviews.

Coming in April: WWE Legends House™ – WWE’s greatest Legends reunite for a new title – only this time, they’re competing outside of the ring. Imagine a beautiful house in the suburbs – perfectly furnished, with gorgeous landscaping, a lovely pool and quiet, respectable neighbors.

$9.99 a month for Americans sounds like a steal. Don't they normally pay $50 for PPV?

I think it'd detect what region you're in surely?

For £10 (estimated), that's a pretty sweet deal in my opinion. I mean, I don't usually subscribe to this sort of thing, but if it means I can watch it on my phone or PC, whilst someone else watches the TV, and in glorious HD, then that's fine by me! Plus with Wrestlemania at no extra charge onto it, then looks like I might finally have to stay up to watch it, instead of catching it elsewhere the next day!

Might be tempted to sign up to this, if for no other reason than to support WWE as I've heard they need something like 1million subscribers to break even

Plus I want them to succeed where Oprah failed

Screw you Oprah!

Very good deal indeed. I usually pay £15 for a PPV. So £10 per month is a sweet deal.

Will there by a SKY Channel called WWE network?

No, it's like Netflix, an on-demand service but with the addition of live-streaming.

I think there may very well be a SKY channel for it like the F1 channel

I was reading an article today where WWE have been very happy with their SKY partnership and it's been a 2 way street, don't be surprised if the WWE Network becomes just another SKY Channel

I don't understand how that would work, unless the red button is the way everything is on demand. I know the original plan was for the WWE Network to be just another TV Channel, but from the announcements to me it seems it's an on-demand service, you can watch anything you want from the archives, or the new programming but in addition can watch the PPVs live. Not sure how that would work as a Sky Channel.

Sounds very similar to how Netflix operates, also note Netflix is accessable on Virgin Media Tivo (own channel) and all you do is enter your account details and you're in.  So not beyond the realms that a similar system will be used for the Network and Satelite/ Cable providers the world over.

I'll be interested to see if you can just use a VPN to pretend you're in the States, and subscribe from February. That'd be awesome.

Post by Guest Tue Jan 14, 2014 11:09 am

With the announcement of WWE Network launching on 24th February this year does anyone know if this is going to be available in Europe or is it just solely for the USA?

Have tried to find out but no luck thus far.

If it does come to Europe will you be getting it?

I saw that, although I noticed for the Rumble it was available on "Sky Sports Box Office", maybe nothing changes as far as PPV's go.

Perhaps with the Network launching they think the Box Office numbers will drop, they may be able to offset this a bit by adding the extra ppvs to it.

A 5 year deal would suggest the UK isn't getting the Network for a long time, or at least not the same Network that the US gets.

'Sky will also offer 12 special events a year on a pay-per-view basis, including WrestleMania®, Royal Rumble®, SummerSlam®, Survivor Series® and Money in the Bank®.'

That looks to me like all WWE PPVs will be on box office from the Rumble 15 onwards.

On sky there they just said it'll offer 600 hours of WWE content per year and 12 PPV events, and said SKYSports is the only place to see it...it's still unclear, calling it a PPV would suggest you have to pay for it but those events are historically known as PPV's so they're instantly recognised.

BT have got the Champions League, and will probably make a bigger play for more Premiership games, I'd not be surprised to see SKY put more effort into WWE to try and attract more people from that market

Sod paying for 12 PPV events...only 3 are worth the price...and even then one of them hasn't been all that great this year! I most certainly won't be lining Vince & WWE's pockets especially given my money is spent on putting past it stars in the big events.

If this has been in the pipeline for a while it staggers belief that the likes of Bryan & Punk are seemingly being held back because it doesn't represent WWE in a great light given it's ultimately the older audience who pay for the wrestling in this country.

That seems a strange one to include, but you don't see the fall so I guess they're happy to show it.

Are they likely to include Benoit matches (I'm thinkin WMXX in particular) as it's not on TV I didn't know if their stance would be different.
