If we look at these variables, we can regress on Rating, ln(price), avg attendance and estimate average monthly PPV buys.
2015 Stats
Rating = 3.3 (first 9 months of 2015)
ln(Price) = ln($9.99) = 2.30
Avg Attendance = 5,770 (first 10 months of 2015)
Estimated Monthly PPV Buys at $9.99 = 1,057,840
Actual average paid subscribers for WWE Network in 2015? 1,106,000.
Error? -4.3%.
The concept of 3M to 4M monthly paid subscribers for WWE Network seems very difficult without a huge increase in the event attendance and Raw ratings.
