WWE’s mystifying tweet Monday about delaying the English launch of its WWE Network — minutes before the over-the-top service was to start streaming — reflects unfinished business with BSkyB, sources told the Post.

Last January, two weeks after the US wrestling empire said its WWE Network would launch in the US in February, WWE and Sky extended their UK partnership by five years.

The extension, according to a statement, allows Sky “to exclusively broadcast WWE’s weekly flagship programming to more than 15.5 million homes in the UK and Ireland” for 30 years.

WWE even added Main Event programming to its line-up with Sky and committed to making all 12 WWE pay-per-views available through Sky Sports Box Office.

In August, WWE announced plans to take the US version of its streaming network into 170 countries for $9.99 a month.

But it took until last week, sources said, for the implications of WWE Network’s competing with Sky’s WWE programming to jolt the UK satellite broadcaster into action.

The catalyst was last Thursday’s earnings call, during which WWE played up plans to rule Britannia via OTT.

Sources attributed Monday’s delay in the UK – “until further notice,” WWE tweeted – to Sky’s finally pushing back.

The launch of @WWENetwork in the U.K. has been delayed until further notice.
