WWE Pulls All Content From Russia, Ends Match TV Partnership

WWE terminated its partnership with the Russian federal sports channel Match TV and shut down Russian access to the WWE Network subscription-based streaming service, effective immediately, announced the media company Thursday, without specifically mentioning Russia’s Ukraine invasion. The action “eliminates access in Russia” to all WWE programming, including all “premium live” events, it said. The company didn’t respond to questions about the financial implications of its decision.
