WWE NETWORK LAUNCHING MARCH 18 ON PEACOCK, STANDALONE DONE APRIL 4

WWE announced Monday that the WWE Network will launch on NBCU's Peacock streaming service starting Thursday, March 18th with the standalone service ending on April 4th.

However, it appears the automatic migration for current Network subscribers that was thought to be part of the move is not happening after all, confirming recent reports that said as much.

From the release:

"To continue streaming WWE Network content, fans will need to sign up for Peacock. As previously announced, WWE Network, including all PPVs, will be available on Peacock Premium for $4.99—a $5.00/month savings. Starting today, Peacock is also offering the WWE Universe deeper savings for a limited time at www.PeacockTV.com/WWE."

The WWE Network will remain active for U.S. subscribers through April 4th with April's WrestleMania 37 fully exclusive on Peacock. It's unclear if the move will automatically cancel an existing WWE Network subscription.

After signing up, Peacock streamers can access every PPV show from the last calendar year, the most recent/current episodes of Broken Skull Sessions, Chronicle and Icons, NXT the day after it airs on USA, both Raw and SmackDown episodes 30 days after they air live, WWE documentaries and more. The release said the entire WWE Network archive will be available on Peacock by this August's SummerSlam.

Peacock's free tier will also feature a WWE channel with select WWE original shows, reality TV shows like Total Bellas, recent in-ring content, and new episodes of Raw Talk and The Bump.

In late-January, WWE and NBCU announced the Network would move to Peacock in a deal rumored to be five years and more than $1 billion.

So I now don't need to pay WWE $10 a month, and can just use the family Peacock account? Nifty.

I’m going to have to check how available Peacock is in the UK... I’ve never heard of it before WWE went to it.
Have A Nice Day!

Sure, just checked. “This service is unavailable in your region”.

So now in the UK I’ll have no access to Wrestlemania, NXT UK or any other WWE Network show.
Have A Nice Day!

according to WWE, anyone outside of US should be able to get the network and the content like normal
