If you're a Peacock subscriber used to watching WWE programming on the streamer, you're going to need to shift to ESPN's $29.99 per month service (much more expensive than Peacock, which can be had for as little as $10.99).
After ESPN secured the rights to WWE's PLEs starting in September 2025, Peacock will have John Cena's last match at the December 2025 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event.
Here's everything you need to know about the WWE-ESPN streaming relationship for WWE PLE shows, including Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and more.
Under the terms of the new deal, ESPN gets the 10 main WWE PLEs (WrestleMania and SummerSlam are two nights apiece) at the aforementioned rate of $325 million/year, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. It’s a hell of a raise for WWE, which was getting $180 million annually from Peacock — a number that included all of the storied league’s archives.
WWE is switching streaming partners to the yet-to-launch ESPN Unlimited app in a deal valued at $1.6 billion, but fans are questioning if the increased price and limited content will be worth it.
