Hulu was the home of WWE Main Event and next-day broadcast rights to Raw, SmackDown and NXT.

They confirmed the expiry on social media, suggesting subscribers add the show to “My Stuff” to keep notified of any updates.

PW Insider has provided a further update on the relationship between WWE and Hulu reporting that a “short term extension” has been agreed upon.

WWE recently announced a new media rights deal for SmackDown which will see the show return to the USA Network at the end of its current deal with FOX in 2024.

Bianca Belair and Montez Ford are to star in an upcoming Hulu reality TV series titled “The Crawfords” later this year.
