On Wednesday, WWE announced that their PLE's will stream exclusivly on ESPN in 2026 in The United States. On August 21st, ESPN is launching a new app called ESPN Direct- To-Consumer. It will feature everything ESPN has to offer from channels and services and WWE PLE's will be streaming on this app. There became a lot of confusion quickly, esp. as it was announced that this new app will cost $29.99 a month. Currently, WWE PLE's are on Peacock app until the end of 2025. Peacock's cheapest version of the app is $7.99. ESPN DTC is three times more then Peacock and fans got upset that they will have to pay such an increase. The $29.99 will only be for NEW ESPN users. We broke down how much a year new users to ESPN will have to pay to watch WWE Raw and PLE's through Netflix and ESPN DTC. We have comments from TKO COO Mark Shapiro, WWE COO Triple H and more. Less than 24 hours after the WWE-ESPN announcement, Peacock announced that it is increases their prices for their app. TKO Owns UFC and WWE. UFC is on ESPN+ for PPV's. With UFC you have to pay for the app and pay an additional $70 to watch the UFC PPV, so our question to you the fans, how long do you think until WWE starts doing the same thing? #WWE #TKO #UFC #UFCNews #WWENews #WrestlingCommunity #ESPN #WrestlingPodcast Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/perchedonthetoprope/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In 2022, Global Brand Ambassador, Titus O'Neil opened up WWE Raw promising WWE was a safe haven from such topics as politics, religion that WWE would stay away from, but does WWE still feel like a safe haven in 2025? A lot happened in 2024 Vince McMahon stepping away from his role in WWE due to the Janel Grant Case. Brock Lesnar gets named in Janel Grant case Nikki Bella involved in a domestic dispute with her husband Odyssey Jones ex alleges DV, gets let go by WWE So far in 2025 Brock Lesnar returns to WWE (still named in Janel Grant case) Nikki Bella returns (charges against husband dropped due to insufficient evidence) Odyssey Jones cleared of wrong doing, not returning... why? RFK Jr's Niece Zoe Hines gets a WWE tryout, I wonder why? WWE shows and talks about Triple H and President Trump (those ties with Linda McMahon are paying off for Hunter now) Does WWE feel like a safe haven? Or is it's Republican showing? #WWE #WrestlingNews #WrestlingCommunity Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/perchedonthetoprope/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Is Fanatics Fan Fest Refund Policy Fair? Well, to be fair, this is about the company they partner with for the event called Leap. Leap does a lot of various Comic-Con and pop culture events such as New York City Comic-Con. In E280, I share my personal story of going to Fanatics Fan Fest NYC, and NOT getting to get my CM Punk autograph I had purchased. I discuss the refund policy and ask, is it fair? Did WWE purposely run shows around AEW All In Texas so they could control the narrative on social media? #WWE #AEW #WWENews #AEWNews #Fanatics #WrestlingCommunity Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/perchedonthetoprope/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A former fan favorite WWE wrestler Duke The Dumpster Droese from the 1990s has been indicted in Tennessee for attempted aggravated sexual exploitation of children. Michael Droese, better known to wrestling fans as Duke “The Dumpster” Droese, was indicted by a Warren County grand jury in May, according to a release from District Attorney General Chris Stanford, 31st Judicial District. It was alleged that Droese used a Coinbase account in an attempt to purchase child sex abuse images on the dark web, the release reads. Coinbase, however, recognized what the transaction was and declined the payment. The company then sent a tip to the FBI. We have also included our 2018 interview with Duke as we talk about his arrest. #WWF #DukeTheDummpsterDroese #WWENews #WWEUiverse #WrestlingCommunity #WrestlingNews #PerchedOnTheTopRope Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/perchedonthetoprope/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
