by One of the biggest and most overlooked channels to come to the Apple TV was the WWE network channel. A 27 / 7 streaming service showing all WWE action and pay per views for $12.99 a month with no commitment and the ability to cancel at any time, or pay $9.99 by opting for a six-month contract.

I’m amazed that Sky has allowed this as WWE, formerly WWF has been a major part of their sports channels for a couple of decades now.

“We’re not constrained by, ‘You can’t do this’,”, “But don’t get me wrong, we don’t want anyone to cut the cord. That’s not to our advantage.”
WWE chairman and chief executive Vince McMahon said.
Among the programming for WWE Network will be a new live daily studio show, in addition to pre and post-RAW and SmackDown shows, and NXT, which follows the development of future Superstars.
