Backstage News On WWE's Reaction To Rumble Fan Reaction And #CancelWWENetwork, Rumble Stream

While the #CancelWWENetwork hashtag was trending last night and most of today, PWInsider reports that WWE sources indicate that while there were some customers who canceled their subscriptions due to the Royal Rumble, it wasn't such a large amount that WWE considers it a significant number internally.

There's a feeling within WWE that much of the buzz is just fans voicing their anger over how the Rumble pay-per-view played out, specifically Daniel Bryan's elimination and the 30-man main event.

Sources also indicated to PWInsider that while there were some issues with buffering during the WWE Network stream of the Rumble, there was no outage on WWE's side and the issues were not widespread. There may have been a more localized problem causing issues that had nothing to do with WWE's end.
