Report: Amazon Interested In Buying WWE Pay-Per-View Rights

It was reported last week that Amazon has held talks with US promotion MLW about using the service to stream shows. This would be the first wrestling show to be shown on the streaming service.

However, it appears that Amazon may also be interested in securing the rights to another US promotion’s special events, this time WWE.

According to Sporting News’ Steven Muehlhausen on Twitter, Amazon has expressed an interest in securing the rights to WWE’s pay-per-views:
