The Hollywood Reporter, in covering WWE moving their PPV events from Peacock to ESPN, is reporting that ESPN did not buy out the WWE deal from NBC Universal.

Instead, WWE negotiated their own exit, built around the idea that with multi-night events like Wrestlemania and Summerslam, among other additional events, that they had fulfilled their obligations to Peacock. They then approached ESPN with the idea of moving their live events content, with Peacock approving.

The report also states that "WWE and Peacock have worked out a deal to include new main-roster WWE programming to stream on the NBCUniversal digital platform; details of that programming are expected to be announced soon."

The final live PLE from the WWE main roster will be the 8/31 Clash in Paris. NXT events will remain with Peacock.

WWE debuted on Peacock in March 2021. The WWE Network llibrary is currently licensed to Peacock through Mid-March 2026.

TK must’ve gave his buddy/AEW secret marketing executive Dynamite Dave a look @ those Max numbers.. And he’s counting in those numbers…

Yeah, about that...

Max is already included! That people listen to, let alone pay for his shameless grifting is something I'll never understand.

I think it’s a good deal if you don’t have cable and just want all the espn networks. Fake outrage as usual

Yea I don’t get the people complaining about the ESPN app. This is one of the bests moves they’ve made in years and it’s long overdue.

 

[grYmes]

Welp, there’s the catch. Wouldn’t be surprised if Cena’s retirement does go down on here in exchange for all this mess.

The plus side hopefully now that SNME is on Peacock is less or zero commercials.

Outrage was warranted, going from being less than $10 a month to paying $30 is still a big increase

Guys once again, if you get a VPN you can watch the PLEs on Netflix

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

I also have "traditional" cable so all I have to do is log into the new ESPN app. I dont have to pay an extra $30 a month
