World Wrestling Entertainment's business has been thriving since its merger with UFC under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella. One of the biggest stories of last year was the Stamford-based promotion's massive partnership with Netflix.

Now, the company has grabbed the headlines once again with its massive deal with ESPN, in which the company's premium live events will shift from Peacock to ESPN starting in 2026 in the United States.

There is some good news for the audience, as according to a recent report by Cory Hays of BodySlam, fans who already pay for cable in the US will receive the ESPN service at no extra charge.
