Vive la France! Or something like that.

WWE’s Corporate Website has released a new report, indicating that L’Équipe, the leading French free TV channel dedicated to sport, today announced a new agreement to broadcast “Raw” on free-to-air television in France.

The company has been slowly moving to increase their French audience, which included “Summerslam” being broadcast in their language for the first time. You can see the announcement from Maryse below:
