I believe this was to be expected with the move to Netflix. Now official.

Hopefully they get AEW now. TSN has been awful.

I got the email yesterday. Funny thing is, it appears that they pulled most of the WWE Network content awhile ago. I first subscribed back in March thinking I might cut the cord on my TV package (only watch sports anyways) and you could access all of the old PPVs, Austin's Broken Skull sessions, etc. etc. About a month ago I noticed that content is all gone. All I can find now is the most recent Raw/Smackdown/NXT. Sadly I paid for the entire year up front and even with all this content going (or already gone), they won't be offering any refunds so I'm stuck with it until March (I won't be renewing).

If there is a silver lining here is that Sportsnet's firestick app absolutely sucks and from a streaming standpoint Netflix's app is much more stable and user friendly.

Looks like no use for SN 360 now. I just had that for WWE.

I've never used Netflix before. So Netflix US and Netflix Canada is different? The article says no Netflix Canada deal has been done. I assume that'll change as the year ends.

They have different content, partly due to the archaic CanCon laws.
