Between that and the extensive library the company holds, it is a treasure trove for wrestling fans and will likely be the dominant streaming service for the foreseeable future. With that being said, given their content struggles in recent weeks, the WWE’s recent announcement regarding the network is only going to make things worse.
In case you didn’t know…
The WWE Network was announced in 2011 and eventually launched in May 2014 in the US. The company promised many benefits of signing up for the network, including various network exclusives, reality shows, an extensive library of past shows and every single WWE pay-per-view too.
It would also become the home of NXT, 205 Live, Main Event and WWE Superstars, which have all provided quality content since. If nothing else, it was a paradise for pro wrestling fans and eliminated the need to scour the Internet for dream matches and historical segments.
The heart of the matter
According to an email from WWE to network subscribers, it reads:
What’s next?
Money in the Bank will be the next pay-per-view streamed on the Network and will feature the AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins dream match that fans have been wanting for a long time. It will also feature Becky Lynch going one-on-one with Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair in two separate matches.
If that wasn’t enough, the PPV will also feature a men and women’s MITB ladder match, which will shape the title picture for months to come. Fortunately for the portion of the WWE universe that is on any of the above-listed devices, the change will not be in effect until two days after next weekend’s PPV.
