Independent Wrestling Content Headed To WWE Network
WWE is expected to be adding content from independent wrestling promotions on its WWE Network streaming service very soon.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite (subscription required), WWE is looking to add 3-5 independent promotions to the WWE Network.
I was told that there has been movement in the last several days, and we should expect some independent wrestling on the WWE Network very soon.
WWE recently purchased EVOLVE Wrestling, which has an extensive tape library. It’s unknown if that promotion’s content will be included in the up-coming lineup of independent wrestling shows. WWE has relationships with overseas promotions such as WXW, ICW, and PROGRESS Wrestling.
When asked, the source could not disclose if full events, or select matches were set to be added.
