10 Reasons UK Fans Will Love WWE Network

God knows they've waited long enough.

Launching in the United States in February, 2014, the WWE Network has been the envy of every wrestling fan on this side of the Atlantic ever since, with many even finding workarounds enabling them to enjoy what our American friends do. Countless hours of classic moments await, and the service also boasts an impressive stable of exclusive shows, looking at some of the most memorable things to have ever happened in the industry. WWE annoyed a lot of UK fans with their false flag launch of the premium subscription model in November. A tirade of Twitter and Facebook messages followed, every fan on the British Isles became seemingly desperate to let Vince McMahon know that they were less than happy with how they'd been treated. It did all seem a little strange, with sources looking towards Sky TV for answers, pointing the finger of blame at the contract they have with WWE. Regardless of what actually did go down, or exactly who was to blame for the blip, the WWE Network is set to officially launch in the UK on January 19, just six short days before the company presents the annual Royal Rumble event. Interestingly, the Royal Rumble will air as part of the £9.99 package for UK customers, but will also be available on Sky Box Office via Pay-Per-View. The ins and outs of the deal between the two juggernauts is sketchy at best, but fans shouldn't worry about that side of things, not when there's so much to enjoy. There are way more, but here are 10 reasons you should be excited about seeing what the WWE Network has to offer.
