Backstage News on WWE Announcing Major Network Additions
As noted, WWE is close to announcing partnerships with UK indy promotions, mainly Insane Championship Wrestling, to air the promotion’s content on the WWE Network. The deal with ICW could open the door for North American promotions, such as EVOLVE, etc, to sign similar deals.
In an update on The UK front, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports the deals are still on the table, despite Vince McMahon changing his mind several times. Word is that the delay in WWE making the announcement is due to WWE telling ICW to get everything in order such as trademarks and music. It’s also possible that WWE wants to announce their weekly UK TV series before announcing the deal with ICW.
