WWE and NBCUniversal released more information regarding the jump from the WWE Network to the Peacock streaming service that will begin later this month. Peacock will begin hosting WWE content beginning on March 18 and WWE Network subscribers have until April 4 to sign up for a Peacock subscription, after which the standalone Network will be shut down. The press release also confirmed what will and won’t be on the service, as the launch day will not see the entire WWE Network make the jump immediately.
Here’s the list of everything that has been confirmed for the WWE Network on Peacock launch date:
