Not usually one to promote these sorts of stories but it was something that came across my timeline so thought it might interest some people here.
From the outset, this does remind me a lot of the Channel 5 deal WWE signed to air Raw and Smackdown in the mornings so this seems like they're going to be doing something like that here (The Hulu cut basically) but they're pretty equal in terms of standing. Virgin Media is basically our ITV stand in where a lot of the stuff they make gets broadcasted there and it's readily accessible with a TV licence (which I believe is a bit stricter here then it is in the UK). So it could work out differently since we have a pretty passionate fanbase here or it could work out where it gets shoved somewhere else or just scrapped completely since there's not a 5Star equivalent here. A real coin toss, there.
Nothing on Smackdown so the only way to watch that still is with a BT Sports subscription or waiting a month on the WWE Network.
