WWE Network and Peacock haven’t exactly been bustling with new shows lately. While there’s a treasure trove of classic content for fans to enjoy, the arrival of fresh programming has been slower than a snail’s pace.
Last week was a prime example of this sluggishness. Monday brought only an episode of RAW Talk, while Tuesday offered a week-old edition of NXT. Although entertaining, the offerings were somewhat stale.
Wednesday brought the usual lineup of shows, including a month-old episode of Monday Night RAW and a fresh installment of WWE’s The Bump featuring Johnny Gargano and a women’s roundtable. Finally, Thursday wrapped up the week with This Week In WWE.
Despite the recent lull, there’s hope on the horizon. This weekend promises a new original special along with several programs aired elsewhere and fresh in-ring content. If you’re wondering what to watch, here’s a rundown of five shows hitting WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
#5. The SmackDown LowDown Returns
This weekend marks the return of The SmackDown LowDown, a fan-favorite series. Hosted by Megan Morant and another WWE personality, the show breaks down all the action and drama from the latest SmackDown episode.
Plus, you’ll get to catch exclusive backstage interviews. Last week’s episode featured interviews with notable duos like the New Catch Republic and A-Town Down Under.
#4. WWE Main Event & #3. SmackDown Arrive
In a familiar move, WWE Network and Peacock will add two shows previously aired on other platforms: SmackDown from FOX and Main Event from Hulu.
These uploads are slightly delayed due to contractual obligations. Look out for NXT’s Gallus facing off against RAW’s Creed Brothers on Main Event, while SmackDown features RAW Superstars like Liv Morgan and Drew McIntyre.
#2. NXT Level Up Hits the Stream
Following SmackDown, don’t miss a new episode of NXT Level Up.

#1. This Is Awesome Makes a Comeback
WWE This Is Awesome returns with a bang, focusing on the most spectacular WrestleMania moments.
Hosted by Greg Miller, this episode promises a nostalgic trip down memory lane with highlights from wrestling legends like Charlotte Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and more.
With this lineup, WWE Network and Peacock are injecting some much-needed excitement into the weekend viewing schedule. So, grab your snacks, settle into your favorite spot on the couch, and get ready for a wrestling extravaganza!
