-WWE has updated their WrestleMania Pre-Show advertising and it now lists both hours being available on WWE Network. Originally, the first hour was advertised for social media outlets only. The second hour is still listed as a WWE Network exclusive, though one has to wonder whether it will show up on the official pay-per-view channel. Fans outside the United States who can't order WWE Network have expressed concern that they will end up missing the pre-show match that will air on the second hour. At this point, WWE has not indicated whether there's a solution to this issue. Of course, we will have live coverage of WrestleMania 30 beginning with the pre-shows on WrestleMania Sunday.
