The WWE believes once users get a taste of the network for a free month, they'll subscribe on as a monthly user, which costs $9.99 per month.
"We are excited to offer new WWE Network subscribers the month of November free to experience all of our live programming, explore thousands of hours of video-on-demand content, and watch Survivor Series, one of our most popular events," said Michelle Wilson, WWE Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer, according to the press release. "Our research combined with best practices in digital subscription businesses affirms our belief that a simple, single price plan will help us continue to grow WWE Network's subscriber base."
Regarding the official network count, Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that the WWE announced the WWE Network now has 731,000 subscribers which is an addition of just 31,000 for the third quarter. The company has also added 30,000 international subscribers since adding different countries in the summer.
Fans of the WWE will be able to view the WWE Network for free starting Saturday.
