WWE is offering the WWE Network for free to new subscribers in May, just as they did in April. As previously reported, WWE has offered numerous months free-of-charge to new subscribers in order to let viewers sample the content on the over-the-top network and decide whether or not they want to invest in the service monthly/annually.
In the recent WWE quarterly earnings report released on April 30, where WWE announced they earned the highest quarterly revenue in company history during the first quarter of 2015, WWE also announced that May would be free to new WWE Network subscribers in May. This means that WWE’s May 17 PPV, “Payback,” as well as the upcoming “NXT TakeOver” event on May 20 will be available at no cost to new subscribers.
The following announcement was made in the WWE quarterly earnings report,
“Based on the successful execution of the network’s free trial offerings, the Company will continue its sampling program. All new subscribers who register for the network in May will receive the network for free in that month, including WWE Payback live on Sunday, May 17.”
New content on the WWE Network is also adding subscribers. WWE recently added every “Monday Night Raw” episode from 1998, labeling it “Attitude Era RAW,” and will add every episode from 1999 and on as the months and years progress. “Jerry Springer’s Too Hot for TV” is also a new program that WWE has added to the On-Demand service.
WWE will also continue to offer “exclusive” post-“RAW” and “Smackdown” content, including interviews, matches, and live editions of different podcasts like “Talk is Jericho,” “The Steve Austin Show,” and possibly “The Ross Report.”

Editor’s Note:
I’ve been a subscriber to the Network from day one…but all these free months makes me think…why don’t I just sign-up every other month with a new email address?
