With recent financial cutbacks in WWE being estimated around $10 million for 2014 and an estimated $30 to $40 million coming in 2015, previous predictions for where the WWE Network subscriber level needed to be at may not need to be as high if business remains at the same level it is at currently.
According to a report by Dave Meltzer, the network would only need 750,000 worldwide network subscribers on average next year for the company to break even, down from the estimated 1.4 million subscriber number they had discussed publicly. The addition of having the network as an option on television in Canada will also continue to help along with the network rolling out to another 170 countries and territories worldwide five months early.
