WWE Seals Major TV Deal In Japan

WWE is a global product and there are many fans around the world who want to watch professional wrestling.

According to Tokyo Sports, WWE SmackDown and WWE Raw will air on ABEMA in Japan starting October 3.

This will be a big deal for Japanese fans and it could attract more attention more to WWE overseas.

WWE Raw is scheduled to air on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., while WWE SmackDown will air on Saturdays at 8 p.m.

These broadcasts will be in Japanese and available for free. WWE Premium Live events will also air on ABEMA, replacing previous broadcasts on J-Sports in Japan.

WWE Hall of Famer The Great Muta will be the ambassador for the special broadcast on September 29.

Muta attended WWE Payback, where he sat ringside during Shinsuke Nakamura’s match against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

We’ll have to see how this plays out for WWE.

The company has been trying to establish itself in Japan for a long time. Perhaps this is the first step towards achieving this, as they have not given up on their long-term goal of having a performance center in Japan.
