How can any major streaming service not offer Chromecast support in 2017? Seriously.

Google Chromecast is one of the world’s most popular streaming devices, and a low-cost alternative to the likes of Apple TV. If you’re a Chromecast user, you can’t just open up your phone and have WWE Network streaming to your television without casting your whole phone screen, which can be unreliable and awkward.

Instead, you have to boot up your computer and cast your whole Chrome browser tab, which often results in reduced quality and lower frame rates. It just doesn’t compete with the calibre of stream offered by native support, and while WWE were rumoured to be adding Chromecast last year, there’s been no news on this subject since June.

There are plenty of other ways to watch the Network, of course. From alternative streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV to tablets, games consoles, and laptops, fans will always find a way to make it work, but Chromecast remains a glaring omission. It surely wouldn’t take a great deal of effort to implement, and it’d keep the WWE Network in line with its competitors.
