WWE have announced on WWE.com, less than thirty minutes before they were due to allow UK fans to sign-up and watch, that the UK Launch of the WWE Network has been delayed until further notice.

Unfortunately, no further information has been provided and so it is not yet known what the reason for the delay is, and whether the delay will be a matter of hours, days, or longer.

Depending upon the length of time, it could mean a lot of bad publicity for WWE for pulling the plug so close to the time it was due to go live, as popular tech website The Verge has already posted about it and other tech and mainstream sites are likely to do so as well.
