X and WWE inked a major deal!

X, acquired by Elon Musk, continues to make headlines with unexpected news. This time, it has been revealed that some WWE matches will be livestreamed on the X platform. These matches will kick off in the coming spring months and will be exclusively available on this platform.

WWE matches on X will be brief

However, unlike the classic WWE format, it is claimed that the matches will last no longer than 5 minutes to keep the viewers engaged. This new format, named Speed, will be tailored exclusively for X, with a new match airing every week.

This deal with WWE is seen as a stepping stone for the X platform to lead the broadcasting sector. Recent long-term deals with CNN’s Don Lemon and renowned sports commentator Jim Rome could also be considered as indicators of this direction. The platform is known to prioritize the sports domain, having previously livestreamed the 2024 FIFA World Cup and the Paris Olympics. However, whether all these plans will be successful in the long term remains to be seen.

On the other hand, WWE, the biggest broadcaster of American wrestling, has been in the spotlight with its recent major moves. The company’s whopping $5 billion deal with Netflix created a buzz not long ago. This new deal with X is also warmly welcomed by the company’s investors.
