Reports that the WWE Network have been acting up for its subscribers filled social media during the live broadcast of the 2017 Royal Rumble on January 29.
Commentator Michael Cole made mention at the end of the pre-show that the Network had been experiencing issues, though ensured that the service was back up and running. Shortly after, the WWE sent out two tweets during the pay-per-view describing an issue with users registering/subscribing to the Network, saying that due to a high volume on its registration page, the process was temporarily down. But it ensured that the issue has been resolved.
(1/2) Due to extraordinarily high demand, some fans may have experienced an issue signing up for @WWENetwork.
(2/2) The matter is resolved. You can still sign up for @WWENetwork and watch #RoyalRumble from the beginning now. t.co/8tDzRburwc.
The new subscriber issue was one of a few during the night, as some users on Twitter wrote. Some are reportedly experiencing audio issues, while others claim the live feed stops, or rewinds while watching.
Is anyone else having issues with the WWE Network, or am I just really unlucky? -RTB
Somebody let me use their WWE network! Mine isn’t working for some reason!
I would like to thank the terrible WWE Network feed for ensuring that I miss half of the Universal Championship match. Great. #RoyalRumble
#RoyalRumble Love the WWE Network but I hate the Lag like I was seeing KO vs Roman Reign & now it went back to 10 minutes before the Rumble
The WWE Network had been offering a free-month subscription to new subscribers. The service is available for $9.99 per month.
