The landscape of professional wrestling is shifting toward a digital-first future. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is continuing its digital strategy as its Premium Live Events (PLEs) remain on their current domestic streaming home. Through March 2026, fans in the U.S. will find marquee events like WrestleMania and SummerSlam exclusively on Peacock. While the domestic rights following this period are a subject of upcoming negotiations, the brand remains focused on its long-term transition away from traditional television models.

While WWE navigates its domestic future, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is aggressively expanding its international footprint. The promotion recently launched its own dedicated international streaming platform, AEW Plus, to provide global fans with direct access to content. Furthermore, AEW has strengthened its worldwide reach by signing a new pay-per-view distribution deal with DAZN, ensuring its major events are accessible across diverse international markets.

These strategic moves highlight a total transformation in how wrestling content is consumed. While WWE is preparing for its next high-value domestic rights negotiations, AEW is diversifying its delivery through both a proprietary platform and third-party sports streamers. These deals ensure that both companies remain dominant players in the competitive media rights market as the industry moves away from traditional cable models.
