I cannot see any NXT on Sky for this next two weeks - can anyone from a nation worthy of the Network check what the score is in terms of new shows?

First of the year Sky swaps NXT for Main Event I believe.

They clearly want us to subscribe to the network to watch NXT.
Except we can't do that either.

But the UK has no legal access to the Network, lol. What a joke, I've just on another board that PPV prices are going up, every PPV is on Box Office (I already knew) and SmackDown is now edited down to 45 minutes. So we pay over double the money to see less than half the content we get in 2014.
WWE is not getting a penny from me until the Network is up and even that is dependent on it being the same as the US version. What a f***ing shambles. Apologies for the language.

Didn't know/had forgot about those other changes, it just gets worse doesn't it? At least the next UK Raw should be fun.

Yeah, I was shocked they let the "Where's the Network?" chant go last time but I imagine that will be seagulled out of existence with "They want Sheamus, Cole" over it. I hope what I read was wrong because if it is, even the Network won't cover a hacked to pieces SmackDown. That will have to be viewed somewhere else to see the whole show. It's pathetic.

What the f***, seriously? NXT's the only WWE I watch consistently these days, and I assume it gets good numbers. So they f***ing replace it with freaking Main Event? And why? So we'll buy the Network that we can't even bloody well get? I mean Christ, if they at least waited until we could get the network to remove it, I could see why then. But we have no legal way to watch it now. God f***ing dammit, I'm actually quite angry about this. Just a boneheaded move through and through. Ugh.

If I didn't make this thread out of curiousity, I'd never have known either. It isn't like WWE or Sky have made it known this is the deal now.
Same as their website, I believe, still says season three of Raising Hope is coming to Sky One soon despite it being two years since season two and other places saying Sky have dropped it. It's a joke.

Well no changes into the new year then. WWE continue to shoot themselves in the foot. The best wrestling show in WWE and its not on tv now and with no access to the Network.

Yep, the new Sky contract only covers RAW, SmackDown, Main Event and the PPVs (which are now all on Sky Sports Box Office and five pounds more expensive). WWE wants NXT to be Network-exclusive everywhere... even in countries where there isn't a Network yet, like the UK. And somehow Sky handed over way more money than ever before for the deal, because they feared BT Sport would steal the rights.

Yep, NXT is the best WWE show, so naturally WWE and Sky make it impossible to watch.

We don't get a full Smackdown anymore either? Not that I care, I don't watch it but still what's the thinking behind this?
