In this video, Let's talk about Aew Dynamite also we dive deep into the fiery backlash from WWE fans following the announcement that WWE’s Premium Live Events (PLEs) will be moving to ESPN’s new streaming platform in 2026, and what it means for fans’ wallets and loyalty to the brand.

📰 What’s Happening?

Major Deal Signed: Disney and ESPN have inked a massive $1.6 billion deal to bring all major WWE PLEs—like WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam—to ESPN’s new streaming platform.

New Streaming Tiers:

Unlimited: $29.99/month or $299.99/year

Select: $11.99/month
(Bundled options available with Hulu & Disney+)

No Extra Fee for PLEs: WWE President Nick Khan confirmed that fans won’t need to pay additional PPV fees—the events are included in the $29.99 subscription.

😤 Why WWE Fans Are Outraged

Even with no extra fee for events, many fans feel betrayed due to:

Massive Price Hike: From $9.99 (Peacock) to $29.99/month.

Subscription Fragmentation: WWE content is now spread across ESPN (PLEs), Netflix (RAW), and Sling TV (SmackDown & NXT).

Reddit Fan Reactions:

“$30 a month? I’m out.”
“I’ll only watch WrestleMania and Rumble now.”
“I refuse to pay more for less content.”

Estimated Total Monthly Cost for all WWE content: Nearly $94/month when including Sling, Netflix, and ESPN+.
