"We're thrilled to announce this new partnership with D-Smart which is representative of WWE's plans in the region to expand the brand," said Ed Wells, senior vice president and managing director, WWE International.
"It's show time in Turkey for WWE fans," added Ali Güven, chief executive officer, D-Smart. "The vivid action of WWE has huge appeal with fans in Turkey and will add more value to D-Smart's rich array of content."
WWE 'superstars' and 'divas' featured in the programmes include John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, and Layla.
