An update has emerged on WWE’s deal with Hulu, following reports that WWE content on the streaming service is set to expire soon.

It was previously reported that WWE on Hulu has several of their shows listed as ‘expiring’ this week.

Per F4WOnline, all WWE content will be pulled from the streaming service this Saturday (September 25). This is when their deal for Raw and SmackDown next day rights is set to expire.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider has reported that talks are still ongoing, with the two sides attempting to negotiate a new deal.

Some have speculated that WWE would want to move all their content to NBC Peacock, which has been the home of the WWE Network in the US since March 2021. The WWE Network is still an independent streaming service internationally.
