The WWE Network is WWE's streaming service where all their content is made available. With the exception of their televised programming, which comes to the Network after a few weeks of being broadcast on television, the rest of their product is often live streamed or uploaded onto the Network for their subscribers.

There, he stated that there were plans for the future of the WWE Network, which would see the Network evolve in different directions, but that it would not be sold.
