Is WWE treating its American fanbase like a second-rate audience? With the new exclusive deal with ESPN, US fans are now facing a potential price hike to $30 a month just to watch Premium Live Events (PLEs) like WrestleMania and Royal Rumble. This is a HUGE jump from the affordable Peacock subscription, which included all PLEs for a fraction of the cost.

This move feels like a massive step backward for fans who have embraced the streaming era. For years, WWE has been a leader in making its content accessible and affordable, but this new agreement seems to be all about maximizing profit at the expense of loyal fans.


In this video, I breaking down:

 * The details of the new WWE and ESPN deal.


 * The staggering cost increase for fans.

 * The potential impact on viewership and the overall fan experience.


 * Why this could be the worst decision WWE has made for its US audience in years.


What do you think about the new deal? Is $30 a month too much for WWE PLEs? Let us know in the comments below!
