WWE Continues Its International Expansion

It really is an international company. WWE has grown by leaps and bounds over the last decade plus, making it the undisputed leader in professional wrestling. At the end of the day, at least as far as business is concerned, no one is coming close to them and that is probably going to be the case for a long time to come. That reach is now growing into another part of the world.

The WWE Network really did change the way the wrestling world worked. All of a sudden the masses were able to see WWE’s product at the click of a button and the live pay per view events were included. That made for some of the biggest changes in all of wrestling, but that was not the case for the entire world. Now though, WWE is getting to move into a new area.

According to the WWE Middle East Twitter account, the WWE Network has officially launched in the region for the first time ever. The service went online earlier this week and will officially offer WrestleMania 36 this weekend for its first major event. Just like in the United States, the service will cost $9.99 per month. WWE has a history in the Middle East, including their recent shows promoted in connection with the Saudi Arabian government.

It has been a lucrative partnership so far. Check out how things have gone with WWE’s most recent shows in the region:

Opinion: This is something that is good for all of the fans in the area and also good for the company at the same time, as there is nothing wrong with having more fans available to purchase their service. If nothing else, it might be able to help out the company’s stock situation, which has been getting worse and worse as of late. Any good news is a positive at this point so hopefully this helps things out a bit.
