WWE Clash at the Castle aired last Saturday, and it led to a busy weekend for subscribers to the promotion's on-demand streaming services. Unfortunately, things haven't been quite so busy since then.

For example, only one upload arrived on Monday, which was a new edition of RAW Talk. This show featured exclusive interviews and dealt with the shocking debut of Wyatt Sicks. Tuesday wasn't any more busy, as just a week-old episode of NXT was made available.

Wednesday continued to be on the decline, thanks to The Bump being on break. As a result, just one video was uploaded. The added video was from a month-old edition of Monday Night RAW. Additionally, This Week in WWE was back with a new episode breaking down the events of the past week.

Fans looking for a wealth of content this weekend will be disappointed. Just four shows are scheduled to arrive, two of which have already aired on other platforms. Still, this article will break down what to expect, including fresh new in-ring action.

Below are four shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend:


#4. The SmackDown LowDown will be back after a break

The SmackDown LowDown is one of the most interesting programs to regularly air on WWE Network and Peacock. The series features Megan Morant and Scott Stanford breaking down the action of the blue brand, with exclusive interviews spliced in throughout the program.

The series took a week off last Saturday due to Clash at the Castle airing earlier than normal time for standard United States-based Premium Live Events. Thankfully, it will be returning on Saturday, June 22, beginning at around 10 a.m. EST on-demand and on the live feed.

In addition to the new episode arriving on Saturday, the video from two weeks ago is available on-demand, and the interview portion is posted above. A-Town Down Under's Austin Theory and Grayson Waller had promo time, as did Nia Jax. Lastly, Naomi was also interviewed.


#3. WWE Main Event & #2. Friday Night SmackDown, two shows that recently aired, will be available on-demand

Friday Night Smackdown and Main Event will be added to the archives this weekend. Both shows are weeks old, with SmackDown having a month's delay due to a contractual obligation with FOX. Meanwhile, Main Event has a two-week or so delay due to a deal with Hulu.

The June 6, 2024, episode of WWE Main Event will be available on-demand on Saturday, June 22. This edition of the RAW B-show features Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai taking on Ivy Nile in the opening match. The headlining act of Main Event saw the powerful Big Bronson Reed take on New Catch Republic's Tyler Bate.

Meanwhile, the May 24, 2024, episode of Friday Night SmackDown will be added to the archives on Sunday, June 23. This edition of Smackdown was headlined by Randy Orton and Tama Tonga. The duo locked horns in the semi-final of the King of the Ring tournament in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul had a face-to-face segment.


#1. NXT Level Up will stream

The only fresh in-ring action taking place this weekend will come courtesy of the NXT brand. More specifically, NXT Level Up will stream beginning at 10 p.m. EST on Friday, June 21, immediately following SmackDown on FOX.

As a weekly reminder, WWE Network subscribers can check the show out immediately after it airs on-demand, but Peacock users will not be able to do so. Instead, NXT Level Up is on a two-plus-week delay due to a contract with Hulu, so be sure to tune in to the live feed if you want to see the show.

Three matches are confirmed for this week's edition of the Level Up program. The main event will see NXT semi-regulars Karmen Petrovic and Wren Sinclair battle it out. Karmen is associated with Natalya, and Wren is perhaps best known for her time in the NWA.

Additionally, newcomer Shiloh Hill will take on Uriah Connors, who is the son of Fit Finlay. Lastly, Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont will square off against the newly formed duo of Cutler James and Dion Lennox in a tag team match.
