WWE Network and Peacock have continued to be slow in uploading new videos. This has been a consistent theme for most weeks of the year ever since the service moved to Peacock and original content became less of a focus.

Despite that, there are still uploads fans can check out just about every day. For example, Monday saw a new episode of RAW Talk added to the archives. This show highlighted Bronson Reed. Tuesday featured a week-old edition of NXT, which was the episode before The Great American Bash.

Wednesday saw a month-old episode of Monday Night RAW added on-demand. Yet again, no new episode of WWE's The Bump aired, so it appears the show may be canceled. Lastly, This Week In WWE streamed on Thursday.

While the week was slow, the weekend will not be. 11 new full-length videos will be airing, with the bulk of the programming being centered around SummerSlam 2024. This article will take a look at everything set to arrive and let subscribers know when they can check it out.

The main event of the show featured NXT's Luca Crusifino taking on the Latino World Order's Joaquin Wilde in a singles competition.
