4. Uncertain International Future
WWE has targeted "end of 2014" for international roll-out of the WWE Network in many English-language markets. However, it's unclear whether MLBAM and WWE will allow workarounds for international customers to access to the US version before then. It's also unclear whether International PPV deals that WWE has already committed to will interfere with the WWE Network broadcasting the PPVs. It's possible some exclusivity may prevent the PPVs from being shown on some international versions of the WWE Network. If that's the case, can WWE successfully launch an international version of the Network without the live PPVs? Will launching an international WWE Network hurt any of the lucrative international TV Rights relationships?
