Confirmation On Why WWE Network Is Offering Free Access

A few days ago it was announced that the WWE Network was offering free access to a vast portion of its library, including every WrestleMania, for a limited time.

Many had assumed the reason for this was as a goodwill gesture during this period of self-isolation we’re all currently experiencing, and that was confirmed by Mike Johnson of PWInsider.

Johnson said it “was done to give those who are social distancing and being responsible during the pandemic something more they can do to pass the time”.

If you missed the original announcement via WWE.com, here it is:

Beginning today, WWE is pleased to unlock a vast portion of the WWE Network library and extend free access to thousands of hours of extraordinary on-demand content, including every WrestleMania in history, countless pay-per-view spectaculars, original documentaries and more, for a limited time.
