Description of your issue

Please add support, thanks. :)

Hi @RuneMagle,

I am going to give this new extractor a shot. Are there any videos featured on the WWE site that require a user account for viewing? I don't believe so from the example URLs you have provided. Thanks!

Cheers,

Parmjit V.

[RuneMagle]

I don't think so.

[parmjitv]

Cool, thank you. A new PR for this extractor will be submitted shortly.

[RuneMagle]

Awesome. Thanks! :)

Hi @RuneMagle,

My apologies for dropping the ball on this one. Another gentleman has been kind enough to provide a new extractor for WWE.com - see PR #17450.

Cheers,

Parmjit V.
