The Bloodline foiled on past SmackDown, top star talks, and more - 4 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend
WWE's business is on fire, but their streaming platform and Peacock are going through yet another drought. The past week or so of programming has been extremely limited and there is no clear indication that it will be changing anytime soon.
Monday, for example, featured just one new upload, which was RAW Talk featuring Chelsea Green and Piper Niven, among others. Tuesday was equally slow, with just one past episode of NXT added on-demand.
Wednesday continued the typical theme of picking up slightly thanks to a month-old episode of Monday Night RAW and a new edition of The Bump being added to the archives. Lastly, This Week In WWE streamed on Thursday.
The weekend won't exactly be busier, but there will still be new and fun programming for subscribers to check out. In total, four full-length shows are set to stream. This includes two programs that aired elsewhere, brand new in-ring action, and more. What's set to arrive over the next few days?
Below are four shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
#4. The SmackDown LowDown will air
The SmackDown LowDown will be airing on both WWE Network and Peacock this weekend. More specifically, the popular weekly show will be airing on Saturday, April 20th at around 10 AM EST.
For those unaware, the program features Megan Morant and Scott Stanford breaking down the action from Friday Night SmackDown the prior night. The two analysts also throw to three interviews that were filmed at the arena featuring some of the star stars of the blue brand.
Last week's edition of The SmackDown LowDown featured three top stars being interviewed. First up was Naomi, who has a major match with Bayley later tonight. After that, LA Knight was interviewed. Lastly, AJ Styles spoke about his upcoming bout with The Megastar.
#3. WWE Main Event & #2. Friday Night SmackDown, two recent shows will air
Two programs that recently aired elsewhere will be arriving on WWE Network and Peacock over the coming days. Main Event first airs on the Hulu streaming platform and arrives on-demand after around two weeks. SmackDown and RAW both are delayed for a month after first airing on FOX and USA Network respectively.
WWE Main Event from April 4th, 2024 will be available on-demand on Saturday, April 20th. This big show took place live from Brooklyn, New York. Akira Tozawa took on Jinder Mahal in the opener, plus Chelsea Green battled Natalya in the main event of Main Event.
Friday Night SmackDown from March 22nd, 2024 is set to arrive on Sunday, April 21st. This show saw the plans of The Bloodline foiled. Roman Reigns tried to set Cody Rhodes up, but Jey Uso and Seth Rollins showed up and had The American Nightmare's back in what was a great moment.
#1. NXT Level Up will stream
NXT Level Up will be streaming on WWE Network and Peacock on Friday, April 19th, beginning at 10 PM immediately following SmackDown on FOX. While Peacock fans can see it while the show streams, keep in mind that it won't then be added on-demand for around two weeks thanks to a deal with Hulu.
The latest edition of Level Up will feature three big-time matches. The main event will be tag team action as Level Up favorites Tank Ledger and Hank Walker will once again team up. This time, the popular duo will battle Javier Bernal and the powerful Drake Morreaux.
Two other matches are booked for this week's show. Chase U's Riley Osborne will battle Kale Dixon in a singles competition. Riley did quite well in the Men's Breakout Tournament and is looking to climb the ranks of the white and gold brand.
Lastly, two favorites from the women's division will clash. Wren Sinclair, who was previously known for her time in the National Wrestling Alliance, will battle Karmen Petrovic. Petrovic has been learning from WWE legend and RAW star Natalya in recent weeks.
