WWE has announced a strategic content partnership with Bleacher Report. This collaboration grants Bleacher Report global rights to highlights from WWE programming such as ‘Monday Night Raw,’ ‘Friday Night SmackDown,’ NXT, and premium live events. Additionally, Bleacher Report will have a presence at select WWE premium live events.
Bleacher Report is at the intersection of sports and culture,” WWE executive vice president Alex Varga affirmed. “Our partnership reinforces WWE’s commitment to a global audience.”
Bennett Spector, general manager of Bleacher Report, emphasized WWE fans’ passionate engagement. He stated, “WWE fans analyze details and debate the sport all week long, aligning with the fandom B/R and House of Highlights were built for.”
This collaboration aims to bring fans closer to both current happenings and historical moments that define WWE’s place in sports culture.
Online, WWE’s reach is extensive, with over 102 million followers on Facebook, 40.1 million on TikTok, 35 million on Instagram, and 13 million on X. The partnership supplements WWE’s broad social media presence.
Bleacher Report, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery through TNT Sports, previously hosted AEW pay-per-view events on its platform before ceasing in 2024. AEW, WWE’s U.S. competitor, airs on TNT, TBS, and HBO Max.
Warner Bros. Discovery stated in June 2025 their intention to maintain TNT Sports and Bleacher Report under Global Networks, separate from TV and film divisions.
Tony Khan, AEW owner, expressed optimism about adapting to changes in corporate leadership since 2022. He noted, “Discovery’s transition has brought changes favoring AEW’s growth and expansion.”
