WWE Network’s Breaking Ground to premiere on YouTube and Facebook

WWE will offer fans free access to the first episode of its new WWE Network original series, WWE Breaking Ground, on the WWE Facebook page, the WWE YouTube channel and on WWE.com at noon ET this Sunday, Oct. 25. Breaking Ground will debut in its regular WWE Network timeslot on Monday, Oct. 26, immediately following Monday Night Raw, which airs on USA Network.

Narrated by legendary actor and voiceover artist William Shatner, Breaking Ground gives viewers access to the WWE Performance Center, chronicling what it takes to become a WWE Superstar.

The 10-episode series is produced by WWE and 3 Ball Entertainment. Todd A. Nelson, Ross Weintraub, Brant Pinvidic, DJ Nurre and Jason Sklaver serve as executive producers for 3 Ball Entertainment. Kevin Dunn is executive producer for WWE.

“Ever since I tossed the legendary Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler out of the ring, I’ve been enamored with WWE,” said Shatner. “My love affair continues with the new show, Breaking Ground.”

“We’re thrilled to be in business with WWE on Breaking Ground, a show that highlights the serious athletic training, ability and fortitude needed to be among this elite group,” added 3 Ball Entertainment co-CEOs Todd A. Nelson and Ross Weintraub.

“We remain committed to developing premium, original content on WWE Network,” said Michelle Wilson, WWE Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer. “Breaking Ground will give our fans unprecedented access and a look into what it takes to make it in WWE.”
