Former programming

WWE Films

Since 2003, WWE has produced its own film productions. Instead of focusing on wrestling movies, WWE produces movies that are non-wrestling related. WWE and Vince McMahon were credited for production of the films "The Scorpion King", "The Rundown" and "Walking Tall" all starring The Rock (Dwayne Johnson).

WWE Films has since ventured in on their own, releasing, "See No Evil", a horror movie, starring Kane and also "The Marine", an action movie starring John Cena. WWE has also noted that Steve Austin has agreed to star in three movie deals, the first being "The Condemned".

WWE 24/7 Classics

In 2004, WWE announced a new video on demand service for digital cable users, allowing subscribers to the service access to matches in the promotion's extensive video library. The programming is broken into four sections and features classic shows, matches, and features highlighting past wrestlers.

Pay-per-view

WWE is currently one of the leaders in pay-per-view content for cable and satellite television. Pay-per-views account for approximately 25% of WWE revenues. There are fourteen live shows for North America, four for United Kingdom, four for Australia and two for Japan. The pay-per-view events WWE hold currently are:
*Royal Rumble
*No Way Out
*WrestleMania
*Backlash
*Judgment Day
*One Night Stand
*Night of Champions
*The Great American Bash
*SummerSlam
*Unforgiven
*No Mercy
*Cyber Sunday
*Survivor Series
*Armageddon
