WWE Network OFFICIALLY Shutting Down in 2025...(For UK Fans)

[@ziahamm1603]

Well at least we will all be 10 quid richer which is nice

[@stingersplash]

More than that with no TNT subscription too.

[@JackShepN7]

I only care about the old content. None of that, no deal.

[@80skid83]

Same

[@R2HEADEDDUCK]

I ain't watched current raw or smackdown in ages just ppvs

[@theshakter]

Lets hope they upload it all on netflix that was on the network

[@Mkmichael001]

It wont, atleast not at first

[@stingersplash]

​@@Mkmichael001Same with Peacock. Important stuff first, rest in time.

[@RobinandBeastboy]

Nah they won't, bandwidth won't allow it and they probably won't have control. Netflix will treat it like any other sport or show, so we'll get f**k all.

[@UnitedVlogs]

Losing the Library sucks

[@comefixusgeorge3157]

I want to hear from Netflix, I want them to re assure us that all the content we receive on the Network will be on Netflix

[@JasonReed-lz8sz]

I don’t watch the current product (haven’t for years). But I subscribe to the Network so I can watch the classic era. It appears much of the archive will not be made available on Netflix which is truly sad. Is the full archive available on Peacock in the US? If so, maybe there’s hope…

[@joeperry2065]

I have it and most of it seems available on Peacock. If it's like Peacock then u won't be missing out on anything that I know of

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

In the US everything on Peacock will stay the same until the contract with WWE expires in March 2026. After that, who knows? Unless Peacock manages to negotiate a new deal (highly unlikely) content will go to Netflix like it's doing everywhere else. Will it be the entire library? Probably not. This January Netflix will only have about 40 classic pay-per-views, seemingly picked at random. No WCW, no ECW, only WWF/WWE. Netflix apparently wants to focus on the present and future and wants to ignore the past.

[@Woodus5000]

Im Honestly GUTTED!! They are Shelving SOOOO Much Past Content ... WHY .. TRIPLE H WHY!!!!

[@SimonCowie86]

No it says in the email that’s all going over to Netflix like it went over to Peacock in the USA. The network isn’t shutting down it won’t be available just like it isn’t in the USA. Once the deals expire if no one wants to pay $1 billion or more by 2030 or 2035 then it will be reactivated & made available again to the UK.

[@Woodus5000]

@@SimonCowie86 I Mean until i Happends I dont belive them because that's a lot of content to take over to Netflix and I don't think they will want all that

[@stingersplash]

​@@Woodus5000Peacock did. And they have WWE Vault channel remember. Most people watch live content not the old stuff.

[@finnbalor8021]

As someone who lives a region where the network shut down 2 years ago and moved to a regional service I think wrestling fans are gonna pissed at just how light the network content will be on Netflix.

[@stingersplash]

As long as it has Raw, Smackdown, NXT and PPV which it will I'm good. Older stuff will migrate over in time but I'm long past having time to go back in the archive. This year I only turn on the Network for NXT live and PPV.

[@finnbalor8021]

@ a lot of people liked the network for the archival history. This ain’t about who got into wrestling 5 years or sooner

[@brendanbrady8639]

This is why you should keep your dvds since not all content is being moved over

[@stingersplash]

Says who? Obviously at the beginning it will be focused on new stuff but Armageddon 2003 will be there eventually 😅. I sold all my DVDs and Bluray in 2014 and made a shedload off them. I don't regret it as I never went back and watched 95% of it.

[@brendanbrady8639]

@ your obviously a casual fan and this won’t effect you

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer there will be 40 randomly selected PLE's available at launch on Netflix. No WCW or ECW, just WWE. More will be added in February and March so hopefully everything will make the transition eventually. Of course those of us in the United States don't have to worry about this just yet. The WWE's contract with peacock does not end until March of 2026. After that, who knows?

[@lewisgrant7622]

Don’t take anything meltzer says seriously

[@GetOnTheFloor82]

Sorry, just so you know - the WWE Network will also be switched off in Ireland, as well as the UK. I'd be worried that all the archive stuff and documentaries won't carry across to Netflix. It better all carry across.

[@STE3ANHAY1988]

It's great news now I have 1 subscription to pay. Iv never got the network as I don't want to pay just for wwe content. Now I get films tv series and wwe content in one subscription. I dont see the issue

[@brendanbrady8639]

Not all classic content is moving to Netflix so this is a loss for uk viewers

[@STE3ANHAY1988]

@brendanbrady8639 oh well still saves 2 subscriptions.

[@Freyacats1]

Got this uploaded quick. Fair play

[@fromthetoprope7734]

True dedication!! (I do not have a life). But thank you for watching! ✌️

[@michaelcooke4333]

If Netflix is refusing to put all of the 80s 90s and early 2000s shows on. Im just going to pirate them instead

[@Mike-e6c4w]

WWE has been dieing for years due to PG era and the last time I watched it live on TV in the UK it was still on Sky Sports at the time which was over a decade ago and most of the wrestlers from back then are now retired so I have no interest whatsoever in the WWE anymore.

[@jason72818]

So true, even just over 10 years ago, had Batista and Cena in main event of raw. Now you get vanilla midgets like Balor and some dude called JD

[@Mike-e6c4w]

@jason72818 once CM Punk left I had no real reason to watch it anymore because I forced myself to watch it for the last 2 years before I quit watching it completely.

[@jason72818]

@@Mike-e6c4w yeah after CM Punk left it went downhill, watched it until 2015 as a loyal fan. I stopped properly watching after seeing acts like the new day was on tv. How anyone sees them as entertaining is beyond me 🤣

[@stingersplash]

It's shutting down everywhere and this was known in January. It will all end up on Netflix in time.

[@JayB-XS]

Tip for UK fans who still want WWE Network - a few countries are keeping it until 2026 due to pre-exisiting license agreements (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). You can sign back up using a VPN - set location to Germany and use a dummy zipcode.

[@RobinandBeastboy]

Is this true?

[@JayB-XS]

@@RobinandBeastboy Yes, it's true. Still have the WWE Network here. A VPN is needed as the location must be set to Germany to log in and watch.

[@marcnolan2409]

My only concern is will our membership deactivate automatically or do we have to cancel manually

[@stingersplash]

It's shutting down so December 1st will be last payment. But I'm still going to cancel just for peace of mind with PayPal on December 2nd.

[@fromthetoprope7734]

I'll also bring doing the same JUST TO BE SURE! Pretty sure they said it will cancel automatically or will be the last payment but...Companies like money!

[@marcnolan2409]

​@@fromthetoprope7734 Exactly we don't want ghost payments slipping through our fingers for a service we can't use anymore

[@Gullyman23]

I downloaded everything off the WWE network awhile back that I wanted. All the PPVs from 83-2005, All of Nitro, Thunder, Raw, Smackdown, ECW. All the home video stuff etc. I stopped watching back in 05, and had stopped watching week to week long before then but with Eddie Guerrerro's death that was pretty much it for me. I might subscribe again to check and see if there's anything new (of the old stuff) they've added, but other than that I'll be ok for WWE content.

[@carltonlyttle3964]

Unfortunately they cancelled it in New Zealand too sad but he’s making valid points😢

[@leepayne1981]

I'm not happy about it due to wwe not telling us about how much of the history back catalogue is being kept. All raw episodes. All smack down episodes. And all ppv's Hoe much is being kept??? No news or information on this

[@stingersplash]

It will all be moved over. Just not on January 1st.

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

According to Dave Meltzer initially it's going to be only 40 pay-per-views, completely picked at random and no WCW or ECW. More will be added in February then again in March. Hopefully eventually they will have everything but it's going to take a long long long long long time

[@davexxx316]

I've never had a NETFLIX subscription as I'm not a big TV viewer in general, if I'm honest. I've been a big pro wrestling fan since my teens. I will take on a NETFLIX subscription... have to say I'm looking forward to 6 Jan

AEW: "Wait, hold my beer!"😄🍺

[@neymar-bk6zw]

Wwe move to Netflix but can we also see the upload on wwe channel KZbin or we subscribe on the Netflix?

[@chriselkinsjordan42073]

WWE Network shut down years ago in the United States and moved everything to peacock TV took some getting used to

[@rabiabegum6136]

Why did it move to peacock?

[@chriselkinsjordan42073]

Truth to be known is WWE didn't want to pay to keep the WWE Network app going in the United States so they moved everything to peacock so NBC universal could handle all of it The WWE Network app was 100% better if you're in the UK I hope Netflix don't edit the WWE content like universal did for the United States

[@BritnyCharron]

So how about going to watch the ppv

[@hitmee398]

Will the network be available still for other European countries?

[@tonycalledwinstonwolf]

Dusting off the ecw dvds 😂

[@SimonCowie86]

I got an email from WWE. What’s actually happerning is what happened in the USA so Netflix will have the content like Peacock has it . When the Netflix deal expires if WWE or Netflix don’t renew their deal in 2030 & no one wants that content the Network will be reactivated. Mate the Tyson fight was a test so Netflix will sort out their servers by then. If you read the full email it states everything will go over.

[@stingersplash]

Tyson fight was watched by 60m people. Raw might get 3m at most. Other smaller live streams from Netflix has zero problems but nobody mentioned it because much less watched them. Raw will be fine. And the rest especially as US audiences won't be watching those on Netflix.

[@ElAssoWipe-o]

But how? TV is dying and wrestling is booming on streaming LMAO.

[@TotalNonstopAttitude]

Obviously it was going to happen

[@BritnyCharron]

There taking it away from us I Canada 🇨🇦 not of us aren’t going to have it anymore so no more ppv to watch we can’t watch the ppv on Netflix and I can’t afford all of the ppv I am don’t have money like them

[@TV-qg5zy]

What about Asia?? I already subscribe wwe network 😢

[@stingersplash]

Do you have Netflix in your country?

[@TV-qg5zy]

@stingersplash yes I'm korean

[@lewisgrant7622]

Yeah great way of celebrating its 10th anniversary Shutting it down.

[@FlipflopMount222]

All that hype about it and its gone. Obviously not enough people subscribed too it.

[@theshakter]

I never understood why people wouldn't subscribe. With every ppvs that came to 9.99 a month as well as a stack full of other wrestling content

[@stingersplash]

Nothing to do with that. Netflix have exclusivity much like Peacock in the states.

[@FlipflopMount222]

@@stingersplash That's my point though wwe would have signed the contracts giving them exclusivity to archive footage probably because not enough people were subscribed to it to keep it going. I mean it's main focus is for super fans for the most part.

[@BarryAllenBG]

sorry pal netflix era begins if you dont like it cry about it

[@dgpnetwork]

Why, you will never be able to watch old content again and you will have to have a tv licence to watch Netflix because raw and smackdown will be broadcast live on there.

[@therichardbatt]

WWE Network also streams live events. If you need a TV license for Netflix you need one for WWE Network as well

[@finnbalor8021]

We’re all gonna cry about it when the archive content go

[@dgpnetwork]

@@therichardbatt not if you don’t watch the current programming which I don’t. Anyone who watches Raw and Smackdown live every week plus current live events, will have to.

[@therichardbatt]

@dgpnetwork exactly. If you don't watch that on Netflix, you won't need a TV license either.

[@KatieMarshall-s8c]

The WWE Network us going the way of WWE24/7 Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.
