11 Questions And Answers For WWE Network UK October Launch

2. Was This Actually All Worked Out Months Ago?

When WWE signed a new pay per view deal with Sky this past January, we did wonder if it was in fact a WWE Network deal. The new terms meant that Sky would be broadcasting all 12 WWE pay per views on sky box office in 2015. That sounded like an awfully bad deal for Sky if WWE were then going to launch the Network. Both parties already knew at that point there'd be a UK Network release by 2015. So why would they make a deal for pay per views? You also have the fact that WWE has stated they don't expect any pay per view revenues for next year. Doesn't that contradict the fact that they have the Sky box office deal? Does that mean they expect to make not one single sale on the box office? Or more realistically, was that Sky pay per view deal actually just the Network deal? We believe so.
