Truly unbelievable irony:
When the Eagles moved from Andy Reid and hired Chip Kelly in 2013, the Eagles thought they got the coach who was going to “revolutionize the NFL”
Andy Reid then revolutionized the NFL. pic.twitter.com/lRsRImQ9ry

• Announced Monday morning, the WWE Network will move to NBC Universal’s streaming platform, Peacock, in March
NBCU’s Peacock Pins WWE Network Exclusive U.S. Streaming Rights https://t.co/BH1NuxV089
— Variety (@Variety) January 25, 2021
“WWE and NBCU reached a multiyear agreement giving Peacock exclusive streaming rights to WWE Network for American viewers. The over-the-top wrestling entertainment service’s existing U.S. subscribers (about 1.1 million in total) will be migrated over to Peacock Premium, where they’ll continue to get access to WWE Network but will pay 50% less per month while getting full access to the version of the Peacock Premium tier with ads.
“Peacock will launch WWE Network on March 18, 2021, when Peacock will begin the rollout of more than 17,000 hours of WWE Network new, original, and library programming (both on-demand and on a new 24-hour channel).
“WWE Network will be available on Peacock Premium (which includes ads) for $4.99 per month, half the price of WWE Network’s current $9.99/month pricing. The no-commercials Peacock Premium Plus plan, which costs $9.99/month, also will include WWE Network.
“The companies plans to share details of how existing WWE Network subscribers in the U.S. will be switched to Peacock (e.g., whether they will be automatically subscribed to Peacock) in the next few weeks. Nothing will change for WWE Network subscribers outside the U.S.”
