The WWE Network, which is announced by WWE to debut in cable television by 2012, may have a hypothetical, yet enticing feature that may sweeten the pot for both casual and devoted wrestling fans alike.

WWE Network will offer the "Big 4" PPVs, consisting of the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series to be televised within their network, at no extra charge. An enticing proposition, considering the fact that each WWE PPV costs around $50 or 37 €.

Again, it has to be stressed that this is only a hypothetical idea, that was born from a survey regarding the WWE Network.

Imagine a 24-hour cable network that was run by The WWE. It featured a mix of WWE-made programs, including new shows, repeats of Raw and SmackDown from USA and Syfy and "classic" or "historical" programs featuring shows from different promotions like classic WWE footage, WCW, ECW, NWA, AWA, etc. from years past.

It would have two new weekly WWE live in-ring shows (wrestling), but not SmackDown or Raw.

It would have a daily live in-studio viewer interactive show similar to SportsCenter.

Additionally, this network would include WWE's "classic big 4" pay-per-view events including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble to the lineup at no additional cost. Rather than having to pay for them, they would now be specials with the same match quality you're used to seeing on pay-per-view for no additional cost. These 4 events would only be available on The WWE Network.

In addition to The WWE Network, you would receive approximately 30 additional channels including NFL Network, NBA TV, Biography Channel, Fox Business Network and Fuel TV.

How interested would you be in upgrading your service for an additional $7-$12 per month to a tier which would include the WWE Network described above?" - WWE survey for WWE Network

If this turns out to be indeed, true, then WWE will have made the first move to gain from a financial standpoint, as their Big 4 PPVs bring in a lot of profit annually to WWE. A interesting tidbit in all this, is that it mentioned the cadre of NFL Network, NBA TV, among other upper-tier cable channels, therefore, it's a safe speculation that WWE Network will be accessible to cable customers that have said channels.
