The Advantage of a Subscription Model for WWE

The subscription model has proved to be successful for WWE, as they have a hardcore base of fans who follow and subscribe to their content consistently. While subscriptions may limit the audience, the ongoing nature of WWE's content ensures that wrestling fans are unlikely to cancel their subscriptions.

This approach has proven beneficial for WWE, despite initial limitations on audience reach.
