After Wrestlemania 34, WWE Co-Presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson hosted a conference call. They were asked a wide variety of financial topics about WWE.
During the call, they were asked about a potential premium tier of the WWE Network.
Barrios indicated that this is something that WWE is considering. Also, he says that it could happen “sooner rather than later”:
Barrios says “we think there’s an opportunity to tier the product [WWE Network]… so that’s coming… we don’t have a launch date yet… stay tuned… it’s coming sooner rather than later.”

For those confused, this could mean that there will eventually be different price points for the WWE Network. For example, WWE could add an additional tier at a higher price point which features extra content. WWE has previous surveyed fans on the topic of a premium-priced tier of the WWE Network.
Details are obviously scarce at the moment but could be interesting.
Would you be interested in a premium-priced tier of the WWE Network?
*sigh*
Some will defend it and maintain its capitalism.
I just think its another way to squeeze a couple more dollars out of their committed fan base.
