As anyone reading this site would likely know, the WWE Network has recently been going under a major overhaul. This overhaul has dramatically changed the service as we know it. Beyond just the redesign, the WWE Network 2.0 upgrade essentially brought a brand new on demand system from the ground up in some ways. As a result, a lot of changes have occurred to the service, many new features have arrived, a lot of bugs and complications have arisen, and even some content is at least temporarily missing. This story will not cover every change, bug, or new features for WWE Network, but it will list quite a few of the notable ones with varying degrees of importance based on a person’s taste and reason for subscribing. This compilation of notes comes from first hand experience, other writers’ experiences, reports from subscribers both from the comment section here and on social media, and reddit.

Please keep in mind that migration only just ended, and there will likely be issues and hiccups for the foreseeable future. No major change, especially one without a beta phase, are free of issues. With that said, beyond what we can help with if you need assistance or to air grievances, we recommend either tweeting the official AskWWENetwork account or emailing them app feedback with this address: [email protected] Please try to be constructive, but regardless, let’s get on with the changes in no particular order:
