The biggest news story of the day has been about WWE signing a multi-year agreement with NBCUniversal, which would see WWE Network move to the Peacock streaming service.

All of WWE Network's content will officially be available to stream for US viewers on Peacock from March 18th onwards. The Wall Street Journal reported that WWE and NBCUniversal signed a five-year deal worth $1 billion.

While the deal's financial details weren't confirmed, WWE stands to make roughly $200 million per year. Viewers in the United States can get WWE Network on Peacock for $4.99 (Premium) and $9.99 (Premium Plus - ad-free). The $4.99 plan would save viewers a lot of money as they would also receive access to other Peacock content in addition to what is offered on the WWE Network.

It was also revealed in the latest Wrestling Observer Live that ESPN is no longer expected to air WWE content following the Peacock deal.

Meltzer stated that ESPN might have realized three weeks ago that they would not reach an agreement with WWE. As things stand, people in the US can view WWE's vast Network library and all new content on Peacock from March.
