Right now no responsible person should be leaving the house for anything other than essential appointments and the occasional trip to the shops to buy food (and toilet paper if you can find any). As we have all quickly found out, staving off the boredom can be a little bit trickier than we first thought. Thankfully WWE is one step ahead of you, and has unlocked a vast portion of the WWE Network library for free viewing.
The streaming service will now offer fans of professional wrestling free access to thousands of hours of on-demand content, including every WrestleMania and Royal Rumble in history, previous pay-per-view events and original documentaries for a limited time.
Normally a paid subscription service, the offering of free access to content comes as a welcome relief to sports fans looking to plug the void of cancelled games, leagues and all professional competitions.
The WWE Network’s decision to temporarily drop its subscription comes in light of the build up to WrestleMania – its biggest event of the year – which will take place next Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5, with the two-night WrestleMania event only available to WWE Network subscriber.
