Daniel Bryan and other WWE superstars will have a new network in the Philippines, as FOX becomes the official home of the WWE.
WWE has come to FOX Philippines for good.
After taking over the rights to air WrestleMania XXX, FOX Philippines officially positioned themselves as the rightful home of the WWE by acquiring the broadcast rights to WWE’s flagship television program, Raw. Beginning tonight, the full three-hour serving of Raw will be seen on FOX Philippines in its entirety.
In addition, FOX Philippines also acquired WWE NXT, the weekly program that features up-and-coming wrestlers from the developmental unit of the same name. But for unknown reasons, FOX Philippines has decided not to air WWE Superstars, and instead the network will continue to pick up WWE Main Event as its tertiary program for the organization’s other top talents.
Only WWE SmackDown and WWE Vintage will remain on the air under FOX Philippines’ new programming deal, while recap shows WWE Bottomline and WWE Afterburn were removed. Pay-per-views, beginning with the upcoming Extreme Rules, will also be aired on a same-day delay on FOX Philippines. The new deal also allows FOX Philippines to air WWE programs on the same week as the American telecast.
Previously, WWE coverage was split between ABS-CBN Sports and FOX Philippines, with IBC-13’s defunct AKTV block serving as a free TV subsidiary for the latter. And prior to that, Solar USA/Jack TV served as the official broadcaster of the WWE in the Philippines.
The WWE on FOX Philippines programming schedule will be as follows:
WWE Vintage – Thursdays at 9:50 p.m.
WWE Raw – Fridays at 9:50 p.m.
WWE Main Event – Saturdays at 10:45 p.m.
WWE NXT – Saturdays at 11:40 p.m.
WWE SmackDown – Sundays at 9:50 p.m.
WWE pay-per-views – monthly; first airing on Monday at 9:50 p.m.
Replays of WWE programs will also be aired at certain points of the day.
With FOX Philippines now at the helm, watching WWE programs will never be the same again. Not only will viewers be treated to a three-hour Raw, they will also experience the same-day pay-per-views and complementary programs such as SmackDown and Main Event. Wrestling fans will definitely look forward to more action-packed storylines and matches that affect the WWE today.

This is kind of AWESOME to see for the WWE Universe in the Philippines. But, I do hope they would take the rights longer especially after WWE Network will now be reachable in Asia and Worldwide after 2014 or sometime in 2015.
This is good news to all who have cables. But #BNB for all who have non-cables. I do hope WWE would also be featured in free TV such as TV5 or Aksyon TV atleast for the 1-hour international broadcast.
do you also have the schedule of the replays?
