J Sports No Longer Showing WWE Programming In Japan

J Sports has announced that they will be discontinuing WWE programming in Japan starting January 31, 2022.

The announcement reads: “[Important Notice] “WWE Raw” and “WWE SmackDown” will be discontinued, and J SPORTS On Demand “WWE Pack” will be discontinued. If you are a “WWE Pack” subscriber, you will need to cancel the contract. Please see the following page for details regarding this matter.”

WWE and J Sports previously extended their 22-year partnership in 2019 for three years. As that expires in 2022, it seems they are not renewing.
