WWE and Bleacher Report Forge New Content Partnership

WWE announced a new content partnership with Bleacher Report. This agreement grants Bleacher Report global rights to highlight content from WWE’s programming. It includes shows like “Monday Night Raw,” “Friday Night SmackDown,” NXT, and premium live events.

In addition, Bleacher Report will have a presence at select WWE premium live events. These details were shared in a news release by the company.

“Bleacher Report has long been at the intersection of sports and culture,” stated WWE executive vice president Alex Varga. “Our partnership with B/R reinforces WWE’s commitment to bringing our content to a global audience.”

Bennett Spector, Bleacher Report’s general manager, added, “WWE fans are deeply engaged, analyzing every detail and debating all week long. That passion aligns with what B/R and House of Highlights represent.”

The partnership aims to connect fans with the biggest current moments and also delve into WWE’s rich history and personalities that contribute to its place in sports culture.

WWE maintains a strong presence on social media with over 102 million Facebook followers, 40.1 million on TikTok, 35 million on Instagram, and 13 million on X. The deal is timely as it follows a settlement by Paramount with states that sought to block the Warner Bros. Discovery takeover.

Bleacher Report is part of Warner Bros. Discovery through TNT Sports. WWE’s U.S. competitor, All Elite Wrestling (AEW), airs content on TNT, TBS, and HBO Max. With interest in pro wrestling at a high, this agreement is strategically substantial.

Warner Bros. Discovery, in June 2025, detailed plans to retain TNT Sports and Bleacher Report under Global Networks, separate from TV and film units. This move remains a priority for the end of 2026, as per Sportico’s December report.

Previously, Bleacher Report hosted AEW pay-per-views on its streaming service until 2024. AEW owner Tony Khan expressed positive views about the merger, citing successful relationships with new corporate leadership.

“We grew in a situation with new corporate leadership in 2022, which was initially unfamiliar, but we immediately won them over,” Khan noted via Fightful.

Khan emphasized the importance of embracing changes brought by Discovery’s leadership since 2022, enhancing AEW’s growth.

AEW continues to be pivotal for Warner Bros., and the relationship is expected to remain strong as the media landscape evolves.
