Whilst I'm sure the WWE could get away with taking their really big shows (the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Money in the Bank and possibly SummerSlam) off the Network's free content menu in due time (and a lot of people seem to think that they will eventually do that when they get more original programming up on the Network), I think it could drive a lot of people away. But you could have an option to pay whatever you want for, example, NXT Takeover events. Just get your more likable NXT talent -- like Sami Zayn and Bayley -- to record a little message they can air before them like "Hey guys, this stuff is free to all of you who subscribe to the Network; but we do bust our asses to give you guys the product you want to see -- so let us know we're heading in the right direction if you like what you see. It's up to you: Donate just 50c, or donate $50 if so inclined. Every little bit helps us, the NXT crew, and encourages us to put on an even better show for you. Thanks." I guarantee you that enough of the smarks watching NXT wouldn't mind throwing $5 their way every now and then.

Start with that and then have the option, if a success, become available for WWE PPVs. Add that all-Diva PPV in October and have it come with a compulsory price tag of $6. You want to give Divas a chance? Prove it. Also, you are supporting breast cancer research and doing your bit for how women are perceived, so you won't feel too bad throwing your money into that product. If the event does well, you can release the stats and make a big PR deal out of it. If not, you're still making money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation with the merchandise sales that month and can keep the Network special stats in-house. Add optional donations for Money in the Bank and TLC ("The Superstars risk their careers in matches such as these -- so please help with their Christmas bonuses"), attach one for the Tribute to the Troops show, and donate some of the money to the families of soldiers/mental health for veterans. Very soon you can be bringing in a lot of extra capital.
The donation for charity thing for the Divas special and Tribute to the Troops, I can see. Though I don't really get why you'd donate the money for a PPV you're already getting instead of just donating it to the charity.

As far the donations for the company itself... they need to just charge whatever people are willing to pay. A billion dollar company asking for donations from people would be really fucking weird.
