For its social and digital platforms, the company produced more than 160 hours of content, including the second season of Mixed Match Challenge on Facebook Watch.
WWE Network includes all live pay-per-view WWE matches, scheduled programming and WWE’s video-on-demand library and is currently available in more than 180 countries.
