WWE Network Update For New Users, DVD Sales Down, WWE Shop Sales Up

– It appears that the WWE website has removed anything relating to the free month for new users who sign up to the WWE Network.

Over the past few months the company have been selling the fact that new users could get access to the WWE Network for free for that particular month, this seems to have stopped.

It now appears that anyone who signs up can now get the first month free, regardless of what month they sign up in. This is similar to other video on demand services like Netflix.

– Since the network launched, sales of DVDs have taken a considerable nosedive. They are down from 271,000 last year to just 176,000 this year – a drop of 35.1%.

The biggest selling DVDs over the past nine months have been Slam City (119,000), WrestleMania (92,000), The Best of Sting (88,000), Attitude Era Volume 2 (83,000) and John Cena’s Greatest Rivalries (62,000).

– The WWE Shop is continuing to grow in popularity. It’s reported that they average 1,161 orders per day which is an increase of 24.2% from 935 last year and nearly double that in 2013 (613).
