WWE Only Cares About Rich Fans Now — and this episode proves it.

WWE just made its biggest move yet: starting in 2026, WrestleManiaRoyal RumbleSummerSlam, and other premium live events are leaving Peacock and moving to ESPN’s new streaming service—for $29.99 a month. That’s triple what we were paying a few years ago. No Raw. No SmackDown. No NXT. Just a bill.

In this episode, I break down what this means for fans like us. Is this a smart move for WWE? Or is it a sign that casual fans, longtime supporters, and working-class viewers are being left behind?

We also talk about:

  • Why Peacock was better than people remember

  • What happens to classic WWE content and the WWE Vault on YouTube

  • The truth behind Disney, ESPN, and WWE's money grab

  • Why the SummerSlam theater deal might be WWE's secret weapon

  • Whether AEW could benefit from all this chaos

  • How this pricing model could kill fandom for the next generation

If you’re a wrestling fan who feels like they’re being priced out of the product they love, this one’s for you.
