Paid Members Benno Posted December 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted December 28, 2014 Source: Reddit via Sky's Help Forum It seems to be a good news/bad news kind of situation now the new contract is kicking in. http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Shows-you-love/WWE-Thread-2014/td-p/1554517/page/46 The Royal Rumble is priced at £19.99, a £5 increase on the previous non-Wrestlemania PPV price. While not confirmed, I understand that there will be no more 'free' PPVs on Sky Sports. Raw is unaffected. Full three hours live in the early hours of Tuesday morning. It appears that new episodes of WWE Main Event will air at around 10pm on Thursdays. Smackdown stays at around 10pm on Fridays. NXT is nowhere to be found and nor is Superstars. Superstars is definitely gone from its old Sky 1 Saturday afternoon slot. The recap filler shows - WWE Experience, Bottom Line, Afterburn - and Vintage Collection still seem to be in random places in the schedule.

4chords Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Think that's slightly inaccurate about NXT. As far as I'm aware, it's not part of the new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah was just looking into that myself, had a search of Sky/Virgin's listings and it would appear past a repeat airing the first week in January that NXT is in the same boat as Superstars and is Network exclusive. Have amended the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Isn't Smackdown moving to Thursdays in the states? Thought we might have got it then or Friday. Bollocks to paying £19.95 a month for PPVs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
