Here is what Johnson wrote:
There’s been a lot of talk in the last week that the tiered WWE Network will launch in January 2020. WWE has been reaching out to independent companies about their potential interest in appearing on the Network. I would expect EVOLVE, ICW, PROGRESS and potentially CHIKARA to come on board. We’ve heard the company has gone as far as to reach out to lucha promotions in Mexico.
From an exclusive article on the Verge, here is a breakdown of what the various tiers will feature according to George Barrios:
Free: This will offer the same free-to-watch videos you’d normally find on WWE.com. Barrios said WWE might also offer timed previews of paid WWE Network content.
Regular: The standard WWE Network experience, combining free content with subscription benefits like live pay-per-views, on-demand streaming, and original programming.
Premium: “We think there’s also an opportunity to super-serve our most passionate Network subscribers with a premium tier that’ll bring together more content for them, more features for them, and also integrating some of our other non-video services like our commerce — potentially integrating something like free shipping, bringing together our digital ticketing efforts in there. It becomes the one place to experience everything WWE.” Barrios didn’t disclose how much WWE might charge for the premium tier.
