5 shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend - New titles introduced on past SmackDown, Jade Cargill, and more

WWE Network and Peacock uploads come each and every week, albeit of varying sizes. In the past, there could be hundreds of hours of wrestling content added to the archives in a week, but things have slowed down dramatically since the move to Peacock.

For example, this week has been notably slow in terms of new programming. The first day of the week for content was Monday and it only featured a new episode of RAW Talk. Tuesday was not much busier, with just a week-old episode of NXT added to the archives.

As has become the norm, Wednesday was slightly busier. A new edition of WWE's The Bump streamed and featured SmackDown's Bayley, along with a month-old edition of Monday Night RAW. Lastly, This Week In WWE was added on-demand on Thursday.

The next few days will see five new full-length programs made available on-demand for both platforms. This includes a new compilation, fresh in-ring action, and even a handful of shows that aired on other platforms recently. What will arrive over the coming days?

Below are five shows coming to WWE Network and Peacock this weekend.

#5. The SmackDown LowDown will air

The SmackDown LowDown will be back with a new video this weekend on both WWE Network and Peacock. The new episode of the series will air on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at around 10 AM EST.

This series sees Megan Morant and Scott Stanford break down the action from Friday Night SmackDown. In addition to the two staff members' analysis, three select interviews that were taped at the arena are spliced throughout the show.

Last week's episode of The SmackDown LowDown can be seen on-demand at any time, while the interview highlights are in the video above. Carmelo Hayes was first to be interviewed followed by Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair together. Lastly, Nia Jax spoke with Byron Saxton.

#4. Main Event & #3. SmackDown, two recent shows will be added on-demand

Two programs that aired on other networks will be available on-demand this weekend. This includes Main Event, which initially aired on Hulu, and SmackDown, which was first shown on FOX. Both shows had agreements with the respective broadcasters that delayed their on-demand arrival.

WWE Main Event from May 2, 2024, will be available on-demand on Saturday, May 18, 2024. This show featured two matches. The opener saw the Creed Brothers battle Legado Del Fantasma's Angel and Berto. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven then battled Kayden Carter and Katana Chance in the second bout.

Friday Night SmackDown from April 19, 2024, will arrive on Sunday, May 19, 2024. This show was particularly notable for General Manager Nick Aldis and Triple H revealing the new WWE Tag Team Championship belts. The champions Austin Theory and Grayson Waller then disrespected The Game, which led to Nick putting them in their place.

#2. NXT Level Up will stream

Tavion Heights vs. Jasper Troy

NXT Level Up will be streaming this weekend on WWE Network and Peacock. The show will be on the live feed at 10 PM EST immediately following SmackDown on FOX on Friday, May 17, 2024. As a reminder, it must be viewed on the live feed for Peacock subscribers, or else it will be unavailable for around two weeks due to a Hulu contract.

Just two matches will be showcased on NXT Level Up this week, but both will see new up-and-coming stars debut. The opening bout will see a favorite of the NXT audience, Tavion Heights, take on the newcomer known as Jasper Troy.

The main event match of the night will see NXT Level Up semi-regulars Carlee Bright and Kendal Grey take on Brinley Reece and the debuting Layla Diggs. Can Diggs pick up a big win in her broadcast debut? Only time will tell.

#1. The Best Of WWE will return

The Best Of WWE will return with an all-new episode on Friday, May 17, 2024. The show will begin airing at 10 AM EST on the live feed and will also become available on-demand.

This new edition of the series is The Best Of WWE: King & Queen of the Ring. For those unaware, the show is a compilation program that features several big matches and segments that make up multi-hour-long videos.

Naturally, this will highlight some of the greatest moments in the King of the Ring's vast history and seemingly even include highlights from the Queen's Crown Tournament a few years ago. Fans can expect stars such as Zelina Vega and Booker T to be highlighted.
