WWE Smackdown will remain on Peacock and USA Network, according to the report.
with nfl buying a stake in espn now you can support cte and sexual abusers at the same time.
It’s like Vince McMahan and Vince McMahan had a child together
We coulda seen that on tv if certain writers room pitches worked out different
"All 10 of the WWE’s premium live events each year will stream on ESPN’s new $29.99 per month direct-to-consumer platform in the U.S. " Well, time to go back to pirating WWE PPV.
it’s great cause they spent all those years marketing the old ppv model as being dead and that the new “all you can eat for $9.99” was the way forward.
Well, if this is going to be the only way to watch ples in the usa, I guess I won’t be watching WWE content anymore.
I am still so genuinely goddamned confused at what and where you can watch each WWE show. Have never seen such a confuckled pile of shit around, I don’t even like WWE and it makes me miss the fucking WWE Network.
it reminds me of the scene from baseketball where they’re going over the tournament and it takes five minutes to say it all.
My only post on this comm from 6 months ago was trying to figure out how to watch things because my gf wanted to see some of my old favourites. I never ended up finding what I needed.
Honestly, it’s a good idea to not watch them anyway
I was somewhat afraid this would happen with UFC and EPSN+ having their insanely expensive PPV deal which is also up this year, so maybe they are moving. I’m actually shocked they haven’t used the UFC PPV model for WWE, but from reading it this looks like WWE thinks their fans will follow them from $7 Peacock to $30 ESPN without batting an eye to get them hooked into EPSN’s new service… I am of the opinion that eventually WWE rejoins the PPV model.
I balked and went sailing when Peacock announced a hike to $11 or some shit, I’m certainly not going to $30 ESPN, fuck that.
NBC Univseral (Peacock, Comcast, NBC, etc) - SmackDown
Netflix - RAW
ESPN (Disney, ABC, FX, etc…) - PLE’s (probably not too far off of them being PPV again)
The CW (and most affiliates) - NXTThat means independent (aka small and likely to close) channels and Warner Bros. Discovery (CNN, TNT, TBS, HGTV, Food Network, etc) are the only TV partners left for AEW and leaves TNA and anybody else thinks they have a shot out in the cold.
I guess Prime Video is still out there and they’ve been buying up sports, if anybody wants to test them, they did a great job with NASCAR this year, although I think NASCAR’s in house production studio handled a lot of that.
Very anti-trusty, more so than ever, IMO.
better for whom, brandon
Kind of definitely off topic but I was looking through some stuff about ESPN’s sports offerings, because I didn’t think they had a lot of actual non-talk sports events… and this caught my eye… surely TKO’s next acquisition to go with UFC’s Power Slap.
Oh for christs sake rofl
By EOY 2027 TKO will bring back Bum Fights I promise.
