Just last week WWE announced a new multi-year deal with ESPN to bring Premium Live Events to ESPN’s new DTC app starting in 2026. However, that’s going to take effect way sooner than expected.
Today WWE announced a new deal with NBCUniversal’s Peacock for streaming rights to Saturday Night’s Main Event. According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, the deal was brokered to keep SNME as a trade-off for PLE’s to leave the platform early. Reportedly, WWE fulfilled their contractual obligations early by making WrestleMania and SummerSlam two night events as well as the addition of Evolution and other shows.
WWE will stream Clash in Paris on August 31st on Peacock, the final PLE on the platform. John Cena vs. Logan Paul and Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight vs. Jey Uso vs. CM Punk for the World
