6 Shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend - Massive Bloodline match, new in-ring action, and more
WWE Network and Peacock will have a slightly busier weekend than they've had lately in terms of new programming. Six new uploads are set to arrive on the platforms, although another video could also find its way to the two subscription services.
Currently, The SmackDown LowDown's status for this week isn't clear. As of now, it isn't listed. However, in the past, this was due to the program's time slot clashing with the Saturday Premium Live event. Now that it is on Friday night, it might air. For now, it isn't certain.
Regardless, the six new programs join several other full-length shows that were added throughout the week. This includes an hour-long edition of RAW Talk on Monday, a month-old episode of RAW on Wednesday, and This Week In WWE on Thursday. A week-old episode of NXT was also added to the Network, but not to Peacock.
This article will take a look at the six new uploads that will be arriving in the coming days. This includes the Sports Entertainment juggernaut's next Premium Live Event featuring Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, other in-ring action, a post-show, and more.
Below are six shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
#6. Countdown to Crown Jewel 2024 & #5. Crown Jewel 2024
The biggest hook for this weekend is Crown Jewel 2024. The big event will air on WWE Network and Peacock beginning at 1 PM EST on Saturday, November 2. The show will be taking place live from Saudi Arabia.
The card is absolutely stacked. The Bloodline will be taking on Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, plus Cody Rhodes and Gunther will clash to decide the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion. On top of that, the Women's Tag Team Titles will be on the line, Randy Orton will fight Kevin Owens, and several other bouts are booked.
Before the main show begins, a Countdown to Crown Jewel pre-show will be airing at 12 PM EST. No matches have been announced for this program, however, so it may be solely previews and interviews. This could change before the show begins, but for now, don't expect a match.
#4. Crown Jewel 2024 Post-Show will air
Immediately following Crown Jewel 2024, there will be a special post-show. The Crown Jewel 2024 Post-Show will stream on Saturday, November 2, although no official time is known. This all depends on how long Crown Jewel will last.
For those unaware, the post-shows have evolved over the last few years. They combine elements of a post-show press conference along with a panel that breaks down the action from the premium live event.
All in all, it makes for a fun time, and occasionally, interesting questions will be asked by the media. Triple H typically appears at the question portion alongside select stars from the show.
#3. WWE Main Event & #2. Friday Night SmackDown, two recent shows will be added to the archives
Two shows aired on other platforms will be added to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend. This includes Main Event, which first airs internationally, and SmackDown, which was first shown on the USA Network. Each show has a contractually obligated delay.
WWE Main Event from October 17, 2024, will be added to the archives on Saturday, November 2. This show featured NXT's Brooks Jensen vs. Tavion Heights in the opener, plus Los Garza vs. The Street Profits in the main event.
Friday Night SmackDown from October 4, 2024, will be available on-demand on Sunday, November 3. This was a big show, as it featured a Triple Threat Ladder Match where The Bloodline battled DIY and The Street Profits in what was an absolutely insane bout. The show also had a Dumpster Match and Roman Reigns meeting with Cody Rhodes.
#1. NXT Level Up will stream
NXT Level Up will be streaming again on WWE Network and Peacock. The popular program typically airs following The SmackDown LowDown on Fridays, however it isn't clear if this week's show will begin at 10 PM EST or around 10:30. This depends on the status of the blue brand's recap show.
Regardless, two big matches are confirmed for this week's edition of NXT Level Up. The main event of the night will see The Meta-Four's Oro Mensah in action as he takes on the up-and-coming Niko Vance.
The other bout features two NXT Level Up regulars, although one has begun to break out on the main NXT program. Carlee Bright, who some NXT fans may recognize, will be taking on the talented Lainey Reid.
