"We’re thrilled that we’ve surpassed the 1 million subscriber milestone less than a year after launching WWE Network and in advance of WrestleMania, our biggest event of the year on March 29,” said WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon. "We remain focused on delivering an outstanding value proposition for ours fans by adding new content and new features in the coming year."
Already in 2015, WWE Network has launched its new series, WWE24, which offers fans unprecedented “day in the life” looks into WWE’s biggest events, and added more than 100 hours of WCW and ECW episodes to its already 2,700-hour on-demand video library.
“It’s a significant milestone for a company that is betting big on going directly to its fanbase with its PPVs and vast library of shows — something a number of other content owners are now doing, including the NFL, CBS and HBO.” — Marc Graser, Variety
WWE Network’s one-of-a-kind programming also includes all 12 WWE pay-per-view events LIVE at no additional charge, plus, groundbreaking original series, reality shows, documentaries, classic matches, and exclusive coverage of special events.
“The WWE Network’s one million subscribers in less than a year is a huge milestone.”
