The UAE’s wrestling fans will be able to indulge their love of WWE 24/7 starting next month.
The WWE Network, a 24-hour channel dedicated to the sport-entertainment, will launch on UAE-based provider OSN Network in March, in time for the 31st Wrestlemania, which takes place on March 29.
The deal, a five-year partnership to air the channel in the Middle East and North Africa, was announced by John Cena, 15-time world champion and the face of the WWE, during a press conference in Abu Dhabi ahead of this weekend’s WWE Live shows.
OSN already airs WWE’s flagship programming Raw, SmackDown and NXT Superstars as pay-per-views.
The WWE Network, which is available in 170 countries since its launch 11 months ago, features 12 pay-per-views at no additional cost, an archive of past pay-per-views and other WWE shows and content. OSN subscribers can access it via their set top boxes and through WWE App on GO by OSN.
WWE Live Abu Dhabi takes place from February 12-14 at Zayed Sports City. Tickets, Dh300-Dh2,000, at ticketmaster.ae.
