ESPN’s streaming service reportedly saw a “spike” in sign-ups for WWE Wrestlepalooza

During The Sports Media Podcast, Sports Business Journal’s Austin Karp commented on the early performances of ESPN and FOX One’s new streaming services. Karp brought up WWE Wrestlepalooza while citing data from website Antenna…

“You can see the spikes when NFL started, when college football started, and particularly late in September when ESPN had its first PLE, Wrestlepalooza really seeing a spike there in signups. So, I thought it was a really good start there for those two services.” (quote courtesy of PWInsider.com)

While ESPN has not officially released any numbers, Steven Muehlhausen of DAZN also noted the following via Twitter/X…

“SOURCE at ESPN in regards to Wrestlepalooza and the overall numbers thus far after two PLEs in response to reporting by Dave Meltzer: ‘Things are going well and we have started strong. We don’t provide the viewership specifics, but things have been going well.'”
