Extreme Rules 2022, recently returned star to shake up show, NXT wrestler called up – 11 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend
Extreme Rules 2022 is on the horizon and fans are excited. The WWE Network and Peacock will be flooded with fresh and exciting programming over the next several days, in part because of the big event airing. In total, at least 11 full-length programs will be airing on both platforms, including Extreme Rules 2022.
Due to the Premium Live Event taking place this weekend, several shows will take place to hype up and promote Extreme Rules 2022 including interview shows and even a new episode from an original series. Another video from a separate original series is also scheduled to stream.
The status of The SmackDown LowDown for this week is once again in question. For the past month or so, the promotion for content has often left off The SmackDown LowDown from the list but still included it in the blurb. This week is no different. However, the show often doesn't air on Saturdays with Premium Live Events.
Below are 11 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.

"Matt Camp, Ryan Pappolla, Sam Roberts, and Kazeem Famuyide are back at it, booking the Ultimate Extreme Rules. Except this time, Johnny Gargano is there as the Special Ultimate Commissioner. The guys have to book seven matches with stipulations. How are the stipulations determined, you may ask? Well, they are determined at random by our Ultimate Wheel!
