Yes, that combination is available, but I can't help with the pricing. Best to ring up about that.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Twitter seems to be exploding with the wording of the wwe contract extension. People thinking the pay per views will be free. I've got some bad news ...

The new agreement with WWE, the worldwide leader in sports entertainment, includes the popular weekly programmes RAW®, SmackDown®, WWE Main Event®, and WWE Experience®, which is due to feature all the WWE superstars, including John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Big Show and Daniel Bryan.

Sky will also offer 12 special events a year on a pay-per-view basis, including WrestleMania®, Royal Rumble®, SummerSlam®, Survivor Series® and Money in the Bank®.

I think there were 4 free pay per views a year on sky. Now you get... None

Sky- believe in better

Superleague tied up with Sky until 2021 is great news for the game imo....

What about the majority of people who cannot afford subscriptions to Sky Sports who are big Super League fans.

Den I stick to my point. Nowadays there would be no rugby league bar the cup games on tv at all without Sky. Sad but true. The BBC lost interest.

I am mostly pleased for the game which has enough financial woes without the loss of tv money.
