MEH MultiChoice makes a big fuss about Showmax Pro becoming a glorified catch-up service for WWE on SuperSport. They're calling Showmax "the new home of WWE Network in Africa" as if it won't be on SuperSport anymore, but it will be because they've signed a multi-year extension deal for SuperSport. It'll also be on Showmax Pro, along with a library of archived programming. >>

This from the press release about it... you'll see it's ambiguous when it comes to WrestleMania - not clear whether it's going to remain on SuperSport or not, but we assume it will because they say SuperSport will have "all of WWE’s Premium Live Events".

We've asked SuperSport and will confirm once we hear.

From the release:

WWE® (NYSE: WWE) and MultiChoice today announced a major broadcast partnership that will see Showmax - the leading streaming service available in the region - become the new home of WWE Network in Africa.
 
The partnership incorporates all WWE Premium Live Events, including WrestleMania®, as well as WWE Network’s vast library of original and archived programming available to stream on-demand.
 
Additionally, SuperSport, the sport broadcasting subsidiary of video entertainment platform MultiChoice, will continue to broadcast live weekly episodes of Raw®, SmackDown® and NXT® as well as all of WWE’s Premium Live Events in a multi-year extension.
 
The weekly programming will continue to be broadcast 52 weeks a year, captivating fans with a unique combination of edge-of-your-seat action, unpredictable drama and world-class athleticism.

SuperSport recently launched a brand-new localized WWE content series called JAMBO WWE, and the expanded WWE and MultiChoice partnership will see additional partnership initiatives leveraging WWE IP announced during the term.

Yes, we've heard from SuperSport and nothing's changing with them - they'll still have WrestleMania and the WWE channel will air as usual.
