WWE thanks Peacock during Clash in Paris as PLEs move to ESPN
WWE took time to thank Peacock as they move their PLEs to ESPN.
Sunday’s Clash in Paris marked the final WWE PLE streaming live on the service as next month all of WWE’s premium live events will be broadcast on ESPN’s new streaming platform. Michael Cole on commentary took time to thank Peacock prior to the main event of the show.
“We want to thank all of our friends over at Peacock for what has been an incredible five years including Rick Cordella. Rick has always been there for everyone in WWE. It’s been a tremendous partnership and again, hats off to Peacock,” Cole said.
WWE announced earlier this month that their new deal with ESPN would be starting earlier than expected with a new PLE titled Wrestlepalooza on September 20. That show will air not only on ESPN’s streaming service but also on cable. It will go head-to-head with AEW’s All Out pay-per-view.
Cole reiterated that NXT PLEs will remain on Peacock, with No Mercy airing on September 27. In addition, episodes of Saturday Night’s Main Event will also stream exclusively on Peacock, leaving NBC.
