WWE last night announced the launch date for the Network, exactly what it would be and what programming would be available from launch.
As expected, The WWE Network will be very similar to Netflix with the addition of live streaming for pay-per-views, all of which, including Wrestlemania, are included in the price of the Network, which at $9.99 a month (with a six month commitment), seems like phenomenal value for what is being offered - all of which is listed below.
The Network will be available on pretty much every device you can think of, from PC to PS3 to Roku to smart phones.
For those wondering, it appears that the Network will be US only at launch with The U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong getting it by late 2014 or early 2015 with many more countries to follow.
Here's the list of programming taken From WWE.com:

All 12 Live Pay-Per-View Events
- All 12 current WWE pay-per-view events – including WrestleMania – will be available to subscribers live, as well as on demand.
