WWE Network Free Again Next Month, Current Network Subscriber Count Revealed, Why WWE Stock Dropped Despite Record Quarter

By Nick Paglino

renee youngWWE has announced that the WWE Network will once again be free next month for new subscribers who sign up in the month of May. That will of course include next month’s WWE Payback PPV.

In the quarterly earnings release today, WWE revealed that the WWE Network had 1.327 million paid subscribers as of March 31st, nearly double the number of subscribers reported on the day after last year’s WrestleMania.

Despite WWE’s record quarter, the company stock dropped 7% following the quarterly financial announcement. Benzinga.com has published an article noting that the WWE stock originally jumped, but fell when “less-than-anticipated WWE Network subscriber numbers were released later in the day.”
