4 Shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend - Top star's personal property destroyed on past SmackDown, hated stable interviewed
WWE Network and Peacock have had some busy weeks, but things have slowed down considerably once again. No new content beyond the standard shows were added to the archives this week.
Monday featured just one new upload. A new edition of RAW Talk was added on-demand, featuring an angry and confident Bronson Reed discussing his recent attacks. Tuesday also saw just one new upload made available, a week-old episode of NXT. That specific episode was the second night of the 2024 Great American Bash.
Wednesday also featured one generic upload that fans see each week in the form of a month-old episode of Monday Night RAW. This show arrives on delay due to contractual obligations to the USA Network. Lastly, This Week In WWE was added to the archives on Thursday.
The weekend will pick up the pace slightly, as instead of four videos across four days, there will be four new uploads over three days. This article will take a look at the four full-length programs set to arrive on-demand this weekend.
Below are four shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
#4. The SmackDown LowDown will be back with a new episode
The SmackDown LowDown will be streaming on WWE Network and Peacock this weekend. More specifically, the next edition of the popular series will begin airing at around 12 PM EST on Saturday, August 17.
For those unaware, this series is a recap show of what goes down on Friday Night SmackDown from the prior night. Megan Morant and Scott Stanford analyze the events of the blue brand with three interviews from the arena spliced into the program.
Last week's episode of The SmackDown LowDown is already available on-demand and the interview portions can be seen in the video above.
First, Naomi, Jade Cargill, and Bianca Belair speak about the events from SmackDown. Then, DIY and Legado Del Fantasma are both interviewed.
#3. WWE Main Event & #2. Friday Night SmackDown, two recent shows will be added on-demand
Two programs that first aired on the FOX Network and on Hulu will soon be added to the WWE Network and Peacock archives. This includes Main Event, which arrives on-demand on a two week delay, and Friday Night SmackDown, which has the same month-long wait as episodes of RAW do.
WWE Main Event from August 1, 2024, will be made available on-demand on Saturday, August 17. The Authors of Pain battled the LWO's Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro in the opener, which marked Del Toro's in-ring return. Meanwhile, Isla Dawn took on Ivy Nile in the main event.
Friday Night SmackDown from July 17, 2024, will arrive on Sunday, August 18. This edition of the blue brand saw The Bloodline decimate Kevin Owens, but perhaps the more interesting segment came courtesy of Bayley.
The Role Model snuck out and grabbed Tiffany Stratton's Money in the Bank briefcase and proceeded to absolutely destroy it. This eventually led to The Buff Barbie getting a new pink briefcase, but she was distraught on that night.
#1. NXT Level Up will stream
The final upload on this list will be a brand new episode of NXT Level Up. The NXT B-show will air on Friday, August 17, at 10 PM EST, immediately following SmackDown on FOX. As is the norm for the series, the episode will stream on both WWE Network and Peacock, but after the initial airing, Peacock won't add it to the on-demand archives for a few weeks.
Two matches are scheduled for this week's edition of NXT Level Up. This is different to the standard three bout sturcture the show typically features. The main event will see Adriana Rizzo of The Family take on the powerful Izzi Dame in a singles competition.
The other bout on the show will see up-and-comer Cutler James take on veteran Mark Coffey of Gallus. The promotion is billing this as Coffey's first one-on-one match since August of 2022.
