WWE Network has a new exclusive home in Indonesia with Disney+ Hotstar.
On Thursday, Disney and WWE announced (via Variety) that they have signed a new multi-year agreement to make Disney+ Hotstar the exclusive home for WWE Network in Indonesia. Beginning with the WWE Royal Rumble event on Sunday, January 30, WWE Network and its live event content will be available on the OTT service.
According to the agreement, all of WWE’s premium live events (the new name for their PPVs and Network specials) will be part of the standard subscription for no additional cost, and events will be broadcast in the local Indonesian dialect, Bahasa Indonesia, and English. Disney+ Hotstar subscribers will also have on-demand access to archived content, including WWE documentaries, reality shows and episodes of RAW, SmackDown and NXT.
“As home of the best global and local-language content, we’re excited to welcome the extensive library of content from WWE Network to the ever expanding slate of Disney Plus Hotstar,” Vineet Puri, GM for Indonesia at the Walt Disney Co., said in a statement included in the press release. “With this new content on Disney+ Hotstar, we hope to expand our reach and engage even more audiences in Indonesia.”
“The Walt Disney Company has long been the gold standard in creating iconic intellectual property that serves as the backbone for international business growth,” WWE president Nick Khan added. “Partnering with Disney Plus Hotstar will allow us to deliver WWE Network content including WrestleMania on a best-in-class platform to our existing fans in Indonesia while also introducing WWE to new audiences in the region as Disney Plus continues to expand its reach internationally.”
