According to PWInsider.com, WWE is thinking about changing their current WWE Network model.
In a recent survey issued by WWE Network to subscribers, the issue of accessing weekly television such as Raw and SmackDown was raised. At present, the weekly shows are added on a thirty-day delay while Main Event is added on a two and a half week delay. The reason for this is because WWE have contractual obligations with international broadcasters such as Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
This of course is most annoying if you live in a country without cable access or can’t always catch the shows when they air on broadcast television.
WWE does however have a plan, which might just solve this in offering an additional subscription package which would cost around $12.99 per month, they would offer Raw and SmackDown on a one day delay instead.
Of course, WWE could run into some issues with USA Network and other markets that show Raw and SmackDown, as it could be a conflict with their current TV deals. There are no plans in motion at this time, but this idea is being talked about heavily within the company.
We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
