11 Questions And Answers For WWE Network UK October Launch

4. How Much Will UK Fans Have To Pay For The WWE Network?

The Network is a very reasonable $9.99 in the United States. As a price point in the UK, we would expect that to be dearer. If the Network is going to be Sky based, then a price of £14.99 seems about right. That's the cost of current Sky WWE pay per views, so it makes sense that Sky and WWE would keep that price point. You'd also be getting the on demand content and presumably a channel, so it does still represent good value for money. However... just to get Raw and Smackdown, via Sky Sports, is already a subscription cost for WWE fans. Some Sky bills are already near or above the £80 mark. Are fans really going to want to shell out more for another 'channel'? That's the problem WWE will face by partnering with Sky. They could of course just make the Network available as part of the Sky Sports package, but then how would Sky or WWE make money from that? It's way more likely that they charge in the region of £10 to £15 as an additional subscription. Conversely, if the package is separate from Sky, a £9.99 price point seems certain - particularly if the PPV's won't be included.
