While it has not been made available in other countries yet, the WWE has announced that they are in talks with Peacock to make the move. Peacock is a streaming service that is owned by NBCUniversal. NBCUniversal is also the parent company of USA Network, which is where WWE Monday Night Raw and WWE Smackdown currently air.

There are several benefits of the WWE Network moving to Peacock. First, it would give the WWE access to a larger audience. This is because Peacock is available in more countries than the WWE Network currently is. Second, it would allow the WWE to offer a wider variety of content on their network. This is because Peacock has a larger selection of content than the WWE Network currently does. Finally, it would allow the WWE to offer their content at a lower price point. This is because Peacock offers discounts for bundled packages and has a lower monthly price than the WWE Network currently does.

When Will the Move Happen?

The WWE has not yet announced an exact date for when the WWE Network will move to Peacock, but it is expected to happen sometime in 2021. The transition will be gradual, with some content moving over to Peacock immediately and other content being slowly phased out on the WWE Network.
