WWE’s Partnership with Wrestling Promotion Ends

WWE has made quite a few major deals with various companies over the years, but not all of them are still a thing. In fact, WWE’s partnership with an indie promotion has now come to an end.

According to PWInsider, Germany’s WXW has officially exited the WWE Network as their deal with World Wrestling Entertainment expired today. This was not due to WWE terminating the agreement, but rather the contract naturally coming to an end.

WXW was the last independent wrestling promotion featured on the Network. WWE had once planned a tiered subscription model that would have included indie and international events, but this idea was later abandoned. Instead, promotions like PROGRESS and WXW were added to the Network and Peacock via VOD.

Going forward, WXW events will be available for streaming on YouTube. For the first time in years, they are now legally free to secure deals with other streaming providers.

Earlier this year, WWE’s working partnership with another independent promotion ended as well. Regardless, WXW will have other avenues to host their platform now and that is all that matters.
