The two recently aired shows will be added to WWE Network & Peacock this weekend. These programs were first available on television & other streaming platforms and thus couldn’t immediately become available on-demand because of contractual obligations.
The Main Event from February 16, 2023, will be available on-demand on Saturday, March 4th. NXT Champion Bron Breakker battled RAW's Akira Tozawa in the opening contest. Additionally, NXT's Wendy Choo fought Dana Brooke in the main event.
Friday Night SmackDown from February 3, 2023, will begin airing on Sunday, March 5. The show featured Roman Reigns delivering a brutal beatdown on Sami Zayn, accepting a challenge for Elimination Chamber while promising to destroy the former Honorary Uce in front of his family.
#3. A new wXw Wrestling event will be added on-demand
This weekend, a new full-length event from Germany will be added to the WWE Network & Peacock archives. wXw Wrestling, a premiere independent promotion from Europe, will offer the Back To The Roots 2023 event on streaming platforms.
Back To The Roots 2023 took place on January 28 and will become available on-demand on Saturday, March 4. This is part of an ongoing licensing agreement with World Wrestling Entertainment that had previously included Scotland's Insane Championship Wrestling & England's PROGRESS Wrestling.
The wXw show will be headlined by a six-man tag team match featuring The Frenchadors. Former NXT UK stars Amale, Axel Tischer, and Metehan will all be featured on the card.

Additionally, the talented Lyra Valkyria will battle Tatum Paxley in singles competition. Last, NXT Level Up regular Dante Chen will clash with Luca Crucifino, a newcomer to the program.
