Disney and the WWE have reached a deal for the WWE Network to stream exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar in Indonesia, a potential prelude to other global pacts.
The move follows that of the WWE Network, a pioneering direct-to-consumer service, to NBCUniversal’s Peacock in the U.S. last spring. That $1 billion agreement netted the WWE a significant revenue boost and execs have signaled plans to leverage streaming rights around the world. The Indonesia setup kicks off on January 30 with the Royal Rumble, an annual event held in Saudi Arabia.
Similar to the Peacock arrangement, all WWE live events will be available on Disney+ Hotstar as part of a standard subscription, at no additional cost. Programming will stream in Indonesia’s local language, Bahasa Indonesia, as well as in English.
The pact is the first streaming agreement reached directly between Disney and the WWE, but the companies are understood to have held preliminary discussions for other territories. Disney is looking to add as many subscription drivers as it can on the way to its goal of 300 million to 350 million total streaming subscribers by the end of 2024.
The WWE had a prior relationship with Fox in Latin America, centered on operations that have been under the Disney umbrella since the company acquired most of 21st Century Fox in 2019. Peter Rice, formerly a top Fox exec who struck a number of deals with the WWE, is now chairman of general entertainment content at Disney. Some WWE programming, including WrestleMania, has aired on ESPN. Hulu, which has been controlled by Disney since 2019, also has streamed the WWE’s weekly Raw and SmackDown showcases after their linear premieres. Those re-air rights are due to expire later this year.
