4 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend - Former world champion returns on past SmackDown, creepy star to compete
WWE Network and Peacock recently had a hectic week, specifically a busy weekend. Last week saw uploads such as Money in the Bank, The Best of WWE, Heatwave, and beyond. Unfortunately, this week has been significantly slower.
For example, Monday featured just one new upload with an edition of RAW Talk breaking down the red brand. This was then followed up on Tuesday with a week-old edition of NXT, which featured the final build ahead of Heatwave.
Wednesday, which is typically busier, only featured an episode of Monday Night RAW from the prior month, thanks to The Bump still not returning after many weeks off the air. Lastly, a new episode of This Week in WWE streamed on Thursday.
This weekend won't be much busier, but there will be four new full-length programs arriving on-demand. This includes new in-ring action from the creepy Tatum Paxley, a show featuring interviews, and more.
Below are four shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
#4. The SmackDown LowDown will air
The SmackDown LowDown will be back with a brand new episode this weekend. The show will air on WWE Network and Peacock on Saturday, July 13th, beginning around 10 AM EST. As usual, it will break down the action from SmackDown the prior night.
The program will feature Megan Morant and Scott Stanford at the company's headquarters. The duo analyzes the stories from SmackDown, while three interviews are spliced in throughout the show from stars of the blue brand.
Last week's episode of The SmackDown LowDown can be seen on-demand at any time, but the interview portion of the show can be seen above. The duo of Piper Niven and Chelsea Green were first to speak, followed by Michin after her attack on Nia Jax. Lastly, The Street Profits and B-Fab spoke after their big win over Pretty Deadly.
#3. WWE Main Event & #2. Friday Night SmackDown, two recent shows will be added
Two programs that recently aired on other platforms will be arriving on WWE Network and Peacock this weekend. Friday Night SmackDown typically airs on the FOX Network and can't arrive on-demand for around 30 days. Meanwhile, Main Event is first added to Hulu and arrives in the archives around two and a half months later.
Main Event from June 27th, 2024, will arrive on-demand on Saturday, July 13th. This edition of the series was headlined by The Authors of Pain taking on The Creed Brothers. Additionally, Akira Tozawa went one-on-one with the Latino World Order's Joaquin Wilde.
Friday Night SmackDown from June 14th, 2024, will be added to the archives on Sunday, July 14th. This edition of the show saw The Bloodline beat Kevin Owens. This then led to the return of former World Champion Randy Orton after a brief absence.
#1. NXT Level Up will stream
The final entry on this list is a brand new episode of NXT Level Up. The NXT b-show will be streaming on both WWE Network and Peacock on Friday, July 12th, beginning at around 10 PM EST immediately following SmackDown on FOX.
As a reminder, while WWE Network will add NXT Level Up on-demand immediately after streaming, Peacock will not. The video, much like Main Event, will arrive within the Peacock archives around two and a half weeks after initially streaming on the live feed, thanks to a deal with Hulu.
The main event of NXT Level Up this week will be tag team action. NXT and NXT Level Up regulars Tank Ledger and Hank Walker will return to the ring to take on the duo of Uriah Connors and Dion Lennox.
Two other bouts will air on the program this week too. Malik Blade is set to take on Cutler James. Additionally, the creepy yet popular Tatum Paxley will have a match against relative newcomer Layla Diggs.
