WWEs Premium Live Events will be moving from Peacockto ESPNs brand-new $29.99-per-month streaming platform. However, the price point is definitely not something people are happy about and now they are expressing their outrage on social media.
One fan on Twitter said WWE is making a risky choice by raising prices. They believe that if fans cant afford the one big show they look forward to all year, they might stop watching for good. The worry is that once fans leave, they wont come back. Some think its only a matter of time before this happens.
Another fan reacted by saying theyre done with WWE. They mentioned losing interest now that John Cena is gone and Roman Reigns is no longer in a main role. They also said paying $30 a month to watch Cody Rhodes main event Premium Live Events isnt worth it to them.
Another fan commented that they wont be paying the $30 monthly fee and said theyll find other ways to watch the shows without subscribing, saying, Yeah not paying it, there will be ways to watch.
Another fan pointed out that most U.S. fans likely wont pay $30 a month in todays tough economy. They also mentioned that with VPNs and free clips on social media, many people will find other ways to keep up without paying.
Another fan said they probably wont be watching WWE Premium Live Events next year unless they use a VPN to pretend theyre in Canada, where the events will stream on Netflix.
WWEs move to ESPNs new $29.99 streaming service is becoming one of the most talked-about and polarizing choices in recent memory. While it could help WWE reach more people and fit into ESPNs growing streaming plans, the high price is upsetting many loyal fans. Some are now rethinking whether they want to keep following WWE and its not hard to see why.
