On Monday, WWE announced that it is offering its viewers a free version of its subscription WWE Network streaming service, which features more than 15,000 WWE titles. The service will be available on the WWE App. The company has multi-year agreements with BT Sport and in Germany with DAZN. “The launch of WWE Network’s Free Version is a key component of our company’s digitization strategy and a new way for all fans to be able to experience premium WWE content,” said Jayar Donlan, WWE Executive Vice President, Advanced Media. “As we continue to re-imagine WWE Network’s offering, the Free Version will serve as an effective way to reach a broader group of consumers and allow them to experience the history and spectacle of WWE.”
WWE Network will cost USD 9.99 per month. The service has more than 2 million subscribers and it offers library content as well as WWE’s pay-per-view events and is compatible on TVs, gaming consoles, mobile phones, tablets and computers. It does not require a credit card registration.
The app will offer select historical WWE pay-per-view events, along with weekly WWE highlights and recent episodes of “Monday Night Raw,” ”Friday Night SmackDown” and “NXT,” said WWE officials. The service will also offer new programming such as “Raw Talk,” which airs immediately after each “RAW” episode.
