The WWE Network has been a blessing for a lot of professional wrestling fans in the short time that it has been on the market. You know, for the low price of $9.99, in case you haven’t heard that already. Well with that low price and the poor subscription performance, there was word that advertisements could be coming on the streaming service, despite you going out of your way to pay that price each month.

Well, it’s happening.

WWE sent out a press release on Monday noting that the streaming service will begin to feature ads on a limited basis. But in reality, we can all pretty much assume that they’ll be shown on the regular rather soon.

"“Today WWE Network will begin to run limited video advertisements.Here’s what you can expect:• No commercial breaks during scheduled programming• Limited advertising between shows• Occasional advertising before our video-on-demand contentIf you have any questions regarding your subscription, please visit wwe.com/help. Thank you for being a WWE Network subscriber.WWE Network Support”"

Again, this is something that most saw coming once the reports of the poor subscription performance began to come to light. Bottom line is that they have to make their money somehow and this is a logical way to go about it. It’s frustrating for those of us that are paying the extra price for the service, but that’s the world of economics.
