WWE Network is not just popular for its comprehensive collection of matches from the past but also for its quality interviews and exclusive shows, which a wrestling fan can enjoy by paying a nominal fee of $ 9.99.

With over a million subscribers, people can enjoy the Network shows anytime. Because of the WWE Network boom, the DVD sales have taken a major hit.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE may be hit by a class action lawsuit. Several reports have revealed that the lawsuit would involve royalties for former stars who will be appearing or have appeared on the WWE Network shows.
