The email stated that there would be "no commercial breaks during scheduled programming" and that there would be limited advertising between shows on the live stream. In addition, there will be advertising before VOD every now and then, according to WWE.
The streaming service launched in 170 countries in August after six exclusive months in the United States and is expected to hit the United Kingdom sometime in November.
The network, which currently has 700,000 subscribers, launched in territories like Australia, Canada, Latin America, Mexico, New Zealand, the Nordic countries, Russia, Singapore and Spain, according to Variety.
When WWE originally launched the network in February many fans experienced technical difficulties with the new online network, according to Newsday.
The network became available on Feb. 24 but there was too much demand and its systems were overloaded quickly according to a statement from WWE's communications department.
"Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM), WWE's technology partner, was overwhelmed and their systems have been unable to process most orders since 9 a.m. due to demand for WWE Network," the statement said. "MLBAM has been working aggressively to resolve this issue."
The company later had to put up a message for fans to have a patient attitude with the new network.
"Please be patient if you're ordering WWE Network as we're experiencing extremely high demand. Your order will be processed as soon as possible."
Newsday also reported at the time that the network was a big investment in the company's future. In addition, the company announced a fourth-quarter operating loss of $12.2 million because of the investments in the network launch so they need the channel to be successful.
