WWE Network Closure Announced for U.K. & Ireland as Subscribers Receive Official E-Mail

WWE is gearing up for a significant change as the WWE Network prepares to shut down in the U.K. and Ireland. This move comes ahead of the transition of WWE programming, including Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, to Netflix's subscription-based streaming platform in these regions.

In preparation for the closure, WWE Network has reached out to subscribers in the U.K. and Ireland with an e-mail announcement. The communication confirmed that all active subscriptions have been canceled, and the platform will be free to access for its final month in December 2024. The WWE Network is scheduled to officially cease operations on January 1, 2025.

The e-mail reads:
