WWE Network UK Launch Delayed

According to WZ, the reason for WWE delaying its Network launch in the UK “until further notice” has to do with a legal situation involving Sky Sports.
Sky carries WWE’s PPV content in the UK and a 2015 contract was already negotiated with the carrer. The site says it appears that Sky is in a dispute with WWE over the Network’s potential interference with their deal, which has been the cause for the various delays. Why the dispute caused a last-minute breakdown again isn’t yet certain.
According to a source in WWE, the company could buy out the deal but it would be costly and potentially not worth the financial considerations.
Opinionated View- You would think you make sure that was cleared up before you announced the launch date? Than again WWE doesn't think. This network has just been CHARGE!
