Former champion returns to SmackDown, ROH veteran in action - 5 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend

After a few busy weeks in terms of WWE Network and Peacock additions, subscribers of either platform won't exactly be spoiled by this week's offerings. In fact, it's as bare a week as possible.

Monday featured a new episode of RAW Talk highlighting the post-Backlash editon of the red brand. Meanwhile, NXT was added on-demand on Tuesday, although it was added slightly later at night than usual.

Wednesday was the busiest day with an episode of RAW from last month made available alongside a new edition of The Bump featuring AJ Styles, Shotzi, & Mia Yim. Lastly, a new episode of This Week In WWE was added to the archives on Thursday.

Five full-length programs will be streamed on both platforms over the course of the weekend. This includes a full indie event featuring a former IMPACT & ROH Champion, NXT Level Up, and more.

What's set to arrive on-demand? Below are five shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.
