The Hollywood Reporter included the WWE Network in their Biggest Hollywood Bummers of 2025 list.
The list, compiled by editors Jon Frosch and Julian Sancton, has the WWE entry as “WWE Network, Rest. In. Peaaaace!” and is written by TV Editor at THR, Tony Maglio.
The entry shows how WWE fans had it great when the WWE Network had everything for $9.99 and had it even better when it moved to Peacock for $4.99 with ads or $9.99 with ads…with the rest of the Peacock catalog.
“Well, nowadays it’ll cost fans a lot more to watch their Superstars: Netflix has Raw, ESPN has (most of) the PLEs, Peacock has the others (and SmackDown) — so right there you’re talking like $50/month — or more. The WWE Universe yearns for the good ol’ days,” Maglio wrote.
The Peacock deal is also expiring at the start of 2026 and all WWE content, except for Smackdown, SNME, and NXT PLEs, will disappear from the service.
