WWE signed a $1.625 billion deal with ESPN to move all of its Premium Live Events to ESPN’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service this month. This led to questions about ESPN getting access to WWE’s library, and now it appears ESPN’s current stance on acquiring WWE’s entire content library has been revealed.
During the ESPN-WWE media call ahead of WrestlePalooza, ESPN executive Matt Kenny was asked about ESPN acquiring WWE’s entire library. He revealed that ESPN does not plan on adding the WWE library at this time beyond Premium Live Events.
If ESPN gets WWE’s full video library, fans could watch decades of classic matches, storylines, and historic moments all in one place. This would make it easier to enjoy and preserve WWE’s history, letting future generations explore the company’s past in a simple and really convenient way.
Right now, ESPN isn’t planning to add WWE’s full library to its new streaming platform, focusing only on live Premium Events. But it’s clear that the door isn’t completely closed. As WWE and ESPN keep working together, strong fan demand or market changes could lead to talks about bigger content deals in the future.
Would you like to see ESPN eventually acquire WWE’s entire video library for its streaming service? Sound off in the comments.
