5 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend - Cody Rhodes in a massive match, Roman Reigns left speechless on past SmackDown
WWE Network and Peacock continue to add new programming each and every week. While there are major changes set to come thanks to the impending Netflix deal, for now, fans have much to look forward to.
The extended version of RAW Talk was added to the archives on Monday. This is a result of RAW being temporarily changed to just two hours, so the extended program helps make up for the lack of segments on the main show.
Wednesday featured a month-old edition of RAW added to the archives of both platforms, plus a new episode of This Week In WWE was added to the on-demand archives on Thursday.
Five new full-length programs will be arriving on-demand to either platform and at times both, over the next few days. This includes the return of Saturday Night's Main Event featuring Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan, other fresh in-ring action, and beyond.
Below are five shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
#5. The SmackDown LowDown will air
The SmackDown LowDown is set to air yet another episode on WWE Network and Peacock this weekend. The show will stream beginning at 10 PM EST immediately following SmackDown on the USA Network.
The series features analysts, typically Megan Morant and Scott Stanford, breaking down the action from SmackDown. Clips of the program and select interviews from the arena are included, which allows fans to be fully invested and caught up on everything SmackDown.
Last week's episode is available on-demand, as it always is, and the interview portion is featured in the video above. Tiffany Stratton is first to chat, followed by Bayley. Both address the Women's United States Championship Tournament. Lastly, LA Knight cut a promo on The Bloodline that was particularly good.
#4. Saturday Night's Main Event will stream on Peacock
The return of Saturday Night's Main Event will take place this weekend. More specifically, the show will air on Saturday, December 14, beginning at 8 PM EST. Cody Rhodes, Liv Morgan, and Gunther will all defend their prized titles.
The show is set to air live on NBC, but it will be simulcast on Peacock at the same time. Unfortunately, WWE Network subscribers are out of luck, however, as the show will not be initially streaming on that platform either.
Instead, it is best to check your local listings to see where you might find IYO SKY vs. Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens, and other major bouts booked.
#3. WWE Main Event & #2. Friday Night SmackDown, both shows will arrive on-demand
Two shows that recently aired on other platforms will be added to both WWE Network and Peacock in the coming days. SmackDown from mid-November and Main Event from late November will both be made available this weekend.
WWE Main Event from November 28, 2024, will be added to the archives on Saturday, December 14. Two matches were booked representing the women's division. The first bout saw Dakota Kai take on Ivy Nile, while the second match featured Zoey Stark and Lyra Valkyria going at it.
Friday Night SmackDown from November 15, 2024, will arrive on-demand on Sunday, December 15. This edition of the blue brand saw Roman Reigns left speechless when he attempted to call Paul Heyman, only to find out the number was out of service.
#1. NXT Level Up will stream
NXT Level Up will be streaming this weekend. The popular series will begin airing at 10:40 PM EST immediately following The SmackDown LowDown on Friday, December 13. This, of course, also follows SmackDown on USA Network.
For those unaware, Level Up is NXT's b-show and often features young stars from the Performance Center, but it can also feature veterans without a role on NXT at any given moment. The show will be available on-demand for WWE Network subscribers, but Peacock users can only watch it live at 10:40 until it gets added on a delay several weeks later.
Two matches are confirmed for this week's show. One bout will see the incredibly talented Wendy Choo take on the athletic and impressive Dani Palmer. Additionally, Niko Vance will take on Oro Mensah, a popular star from The Meta-Four.
