Many WWE talents remain upset over pay, specifically, their royalty checks. Despite the unhappiness, there’s a general feeling that there is not much they can do about it for now.
With WWE phasing out the pay-per-view aspect of their revenue model, building the subscriber base of the WWE Network is now the company’s top priority.
WWE still needs approximately 1.3-1.4 million monthly subscribers to break even on the WWE Network. If the WWE Network ever tops 2 million subscriber, WWE will be more profitable than it has ever been.
WWE will announce the latest WWE Network subscriber count at the end of this month. With the company announcing 667,000 subscribers back in April, 850,000 subscribers is seen as the next big milestone. Anything less than that will be seen as a disappointment from WWE and Wall Street.
The company is still hoping to reach 1 million subscribers by the end of the year and will be pulling out all the stops with loaded pay-per-views to achieve this goal.
