Is the WWE Network Going to Peacock?
Contents
If you’re a wrestling fan, you’re probably wondering if the WWE Network is going to be moving to Peacock. Here’s what we know so far.
WWE Network’s Current Status
The WWE Network is currently available on a number of platforms, including Amazon Fire TV, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, Roku, Xbox One, and smart TVs. However, the WWE has been in talks with NBCUniversal about potentially moving the WWE Network to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service.
Over-the-top service
As of February 2021, WWE Network is an over-the-top service owned by WWE, delivered through the internet, that debuted on February 24, 2014. In January 2019, the WWE Network reached 1.9 million subscribers. WWE Network’s content includes all live pay-per-view events promoted by WWE, original programming, reality shows, documentaries, replays of recent Raw and SmackDown episodes and select programming from former subsidiaries Florida Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling as well as original content from NXT.
Content
As of right now, all of WWE’s pay-per-view events are still available on the WWE Network. This includes all the “big four” events: WrestleMania, SummerSlam, the Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. In addition to these events, WWE Network also offers a 24/7 live stream, original programming, a library of on-demand content, and more.
However, it is important to note that WWE’s contract with NBCUniversal expires at the end of April 2021. This means that as of May 1st, 2021, all WWE content will be moving over to NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock. While it is not yet known what this will mean for the future of WWE Network (or how much of the content will be moving), it is safe to say that there will be some changes coming to the service in the near future.
Pricing
As of March 18th, 2021, the WWE Network is still its own standalone streaming service. There has been no announcement from WWE or NBCUniversal about the WWE Network being added to the Peacock platform.
WWE Network currently has two pricing tiers: $9.99/month and $14.99/month. The $9.99/month plan includes most pay-per-view events and original programming, while the $14.99/month plan includes everything from the $9.99/month plan plus premium content such as archives of past pay-per-view events and on-demand programming.
Both plans come with a free 7-day trial, and you can cancel at any time.
WWE Network’s Potential Move to Peacock
The WWE Network is a streaming service that offers on-demand and live programming of WWE events. It is the first over-the-top (OTT) service from a major pro wrestling promotion. As of January 2018, the WWE Network had 1.4 million subscribers. The network’s move to Peacock could mean big things for the platform.

What would this mean for WWE Network?
WWE Network is a streaming service owned by WWE, launched on February 24, 2014. The service is available in approximately 180 countries, and features a wide range of content including all live pay-per-view events promoted by WWE, originally produced shows, documentaries, classic matches, as well as ongoing 24/7 streaming of several digital channels. As of April 2020, WWE Network had approximately 1.8 million subscribers.
There have been rumors that the WWE Network may be moving to NBCUniversal’s new streaming service Peacock. So far, there has been no confirmation from either WWE or NBCUniversal about these rumors. However, if the WWE Network does move to Peacock, it is unclear what this would mean for current WWE Network subscribers. It is possible that they would be able to continue to use the WWE Network app with their existing login and password. However, it is also possible that they would need to create a new account with Peacock in order to continue to access the content on the WWE Network.
Pros and Cons of WWE Network Moving to Peacock
The WWE Network is a streaming service that offers on-demand and live programming, as well as a large collection of WWE-related content. It is set to become a part of the Peacock streaming service in the near future. This would give WWE fans access to a larger selection of content, but it would also mean that the WWE Network would no longer be its own standalone service. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of this potential change.
Pros
WWE Network is currently available as a standalone streaming service, but it will soon be moving to Peacock. There are a few pros to this change.
First, Peacock is cheaper than WWE Network. A subscription to WWE Network costs $9.99 per month, while Peacock costs $4.99 per month (or $49.99 per year). So, if you’re a casual WWE fan, you may want to switch to Peacock to save some money.
Second, Peacock has a much wider range of content than WWE Network. In addition to all the WWE content, Peacock also has NBC shows, movies, and more. So, if you’re looking for more than just wrestling content, Peacock is the way to go.
Cons
-The WWE Network is currently available in 180 countries. Peacock is only available in the United States. This means that a lot of WWE fans will no longer have access to the network if it moves to Peacock.
-The WWE Network has a lot of content that is not available on Peacock. This includes older pay-per-view events, documentaries, and classic matches. If the WWE Network moves to Peacock, this content will no longer be available to fans.
-The WWE Network is currently $9.99 per month. Peacock is $4.99 per month for the basic package and $9.99 per month for the premium package. This means that fans will have to pay more if they want to continue watching the WWE Network on Peacock.
Conclusion
It is still too early to tell what will happen with the WWE Network. Peacock has not made any announcements regarding the future of the network. It is possible that the WWE Network will continue to be available on Peacock, but it is also possible that it will be discontinued. Only time will tell what will happen with the WWE Network.
