Astro and WWE extended their partnership into its 17th year with a new agreement to continue airing WWE programming, including flagship programmes Raw and Smackdown.

"Astro is entertaining Malaysian WWE fans with 24/7, non-stop WWE action and on-demand content in HD on big-screen TVs, and on mobile devices via Astro Go," said Lee Choong Khay, Astro Vice President of Sports Business. 

"The response from the passionate fanbase has been tremendous, with nearly five million viewers in 2017 alone and we hope to serve more fans in years to come."

Michelle Wilson, WWE Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer, also expressed her delight at renewing the partnership.

“Astro has been a long-time valued partner, sharing our vision for engaging and entertaining our fans,” she said.

“Their commitment to WWE allows us to continue showcasing our unique blend of action-packed, family friendly entertainment across Malaysia.”

Astro will also continue offering WWE Network, a premium à la carte channel available exclusively in Malaysia on Astro TV and Astro GO, that includes all WWE special events such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble.
