The WWE Network has launched five days ahead of schedule in the UK and Ireland.

After several delays, the on-demand service was due to be launched on January 19, but is available now with a 14-day free trial.

Fans must submit their payment details to gain access to the service, but their first billing date will be on January 29, 2015.

They must cancel their account before this date if they do not wish to be charged.

"As The Rock would say, finally, FINALLY the WWE Network is coming to the United Kingdom and Ireland, on Monday, January 19, and this time we really mean it," said WWE boss Vince McMahon in a video message earlier this month.

"With the WWE Network you get 24/7 programming, unlimited access to our massive video on demand library, and every pay-per-view event live, starting with the Royal Rumble later this month."

He added: "You've been waiting for a long time for the WWE Network and we thank you for your patience."

The video-on-demand service was originally due to launch in the UK in October, but was moved back to November 3 and then delayed again.



WWE star Triple H said in December that the network's move to the UK was being 'feverishly worked on'.

The WWE Network launched in the US back in February 2014 and is priced at $9.99 (£6.55) in most territories.

It was then rolled out to a further 170 territories in August, including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Spain and the Nordics.

Reports of potential friction with Sky were rumoured to be behind the previous delay bringing the Network to the UK, following confirmation that BSkyB will continue to exclusively broadcast WWE's flagship shows in the UK and Ireland through to 2019.

In October, WWE Network dropped its previous six-month minimum commitment, with all new and existing contracts now operating on a rolling monthly basis. November was also free for new subscribers.

The next WWE pay per view is Royal Rumble 2015 on Sunday, January 25.
