So, can I still watch the PPV's on the Network, or do I need to get a Peacock submission now?

Updates: WWE Network begins moving to Peacock on the 18th of this month, standalone Network in the US ends April 4th, with my main draw to the Network in the first place (the older content) being moved over slowly :( , with the whole archive supposed to be up before SummerSlam.
 
Is it really worth getting another subscription?

Actually, Peacock seems to be cheaper than the Network. I could cancel after Fastlane and then switch.

What about over-seas subscribers? I have been streaming the Network through my Xbox for years, Will I still be able to do it??
 
Okay that's good to know.

Lashley had a successful defense of the WWE title last night, it wasn't too dis-similar from the match last week. McIntyre and Sheamus had a pretty brutal No-DQ match which went to a ref stoppage after the knocked each other out with the ring steps. Shane gave a really weird promo to Strowman, Orton v Styles was the main event and Styles won after Alexa Bliss caused a distraction and Orton coughed up the black goo again.

Next week will have two title matches, US title match between Riddle and Mustapha Ali and a Raw tag title match between Alexander/Benjamin and New Day.
 
The WWE HOF ceremony will take place this year during Wrestlemania week, it will be on Tuesday 6th April and will feature the class of 2020 and 2021 after they couldn't have a ceremony last year because of Covid, Molly Holly has been announced as the first inductee for this years class and that much deserved.

Here is the new schedule for WM week.

Monday 5th. Raw
Tuesday 6th. Hall Of Fame.
Wednesday 7th. NXT Takeover.
Thursday 8th. NXT Takeover night 2.
Friday 9th. Smackdown
Saturday 10th. Wrestlemania night 1
Sunday 11th. Wrestlemania night 2
 
They introduced the new NXT Women's Tag Team Championship titles on NXT last night, they are pretty similar to the men's but are a little smaller and have a white strap.

Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez were given the titles first and were the first champs after winning the Women's Dusty Cup a little while ago, that title reign only lasted around 50 mins however as they lost their first title defense to Blackhart and Ember Moon.

The other two title matches were really good, Io Shirai won clean v Toni Storm and afterwards she squared up to Gonzalez and said she wants her next, Finn Balor successfully defended his NXT title in a great match v Adam Cole, a returning Kyle O'Reilly caused a distraction for Cole and attacked him after, there was a stare down between Balor and Karrion Kross as the show went off air so it looks like Kross will challenge Balor next.

The other announcement from last night was the confirmation of the first ever two-night takeover, called 'Stand And Deliver' and it will be on USA on Wednesday 7th and Peacock on Thursday 8th.
 
Andrade has requested his release from WWE, he did it backstage at Raw this week.

Its a real shame this, he is a hugely talented performer but for whatever reason Vince just doesn't seem to rate him.
 
Smackdown was a bit of a mess last night, Big E v Apollo Crews for the IC title was made for Fastlane but little else happened, Edge will have his first match on Smackdown in 10 years next week when he faces Jey Uso with the winner being the inforcer for the Reigns-Bryan title match.

Bobby Lashley v Drew McIntyre for the WWE title at Wrestlemania was made before Raw last night, Drew faced Miz last night whilst Lashley took on Sheamus in the main event with Drew watching ring side, Drew will face Sheamus again at Fastlane on Sunday.

New Day won the tag titles from Hurt Business last night and are now 11 time tag champs, after the match Styles and Omos challenged them for the titles at WM and that match has been made, it will be Omos's in ring debut.

Also last night Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman were supposed to have a match but it never got going, Braun attacked Shane before the bell but Shane hit Braun with a TV camera, elbowed him through the announce desk and covered him in green paint/goo, they are having another match at Fastlane, Alexa Bliss is facing Randy Orton at Fastlane too but Bray/Fiend will definitely get involved in that Bad Bunny gave the 24/7 title to R-Truth and Riddle successfully defended his US title against Mustafa Ali.

Drew McIntyre almost dropped the F-bomb on Raw Talk!
 
The best thing WWE ever done was to get rid of Shane McMahon , but as WWE does they made the mistake of letting him back on TV.
 
The best thing WWE ever done was to get rid of *heel* Shane McMahon
Corrected it for you ;)... Idk about you guys, but I 1000 times prefer to see face Shane rather than heel since he's mostly loved as face even if he had heel runs previous to his return...
 
Finn Balor v Karrion Kross for the NXT title and Santos Escobar v Jordan Devlin for the Cruiserweight title both made for Takeover: Stand & Deliver in three weeks following last nights NXT.
 
WWE have announced that Hulk Hogan and Titus O'Neill will be the hosts for this years WrestleMania, the news have been met with mostly bemusement....It is a little weird, especially given that video featuring Hulk.

WresteMania tickets expected to sell out soon.

Pretty big Smackdown tonight headlined by Edge's in ring return to face Jey Uso, Fastlane is this Sunday.
 
I semi unofficially made my debut to this thread by posting something in the wrong thread. So let me do a quick post here.

Most of you may know I kind of do wrestling puns. I do indeed watch wrestling. I been a fan of the (then) WWF in 1997. I would watch RAW as well as Monday Night Nitro. I enjoyed what is now the WWE. A few times, I've seen New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor, AEW, and even the CMLL. I surely will watch SmackDown! tonight.

I may not chime in on the latest wrestling news, but I do snoop through this thread from time to time. So this marks my *official* debut to this thread.
 
Well... you can start kissing goodbye to Nia Jax/Shayna Bayzler's team because all points out they are gonna break them up very soon (Shayna turning on Nia possibly)... YAY :lol::lol::lol:
 
Got an email saying that my Network Subscription will end April 4. They will also give me a prorated refund. Seeing that I've used it for a few years now, I'm not expecting a lot back.

But, as I said, I'm going to switch to Peacock after Fastlane. Any bit helps, although it's half the price.
 
Two matches added to Fastlane tomorrow.

On the Smackdown side its Seth Rollins v Nakamura and on Raw side its a US title rematch between Riddle and Mustafa Ali.

Fastlane is shaping up to be quite good show now.
 


Hmm. Simple messing around with how things are arranged on WWE's end of the Network and someone accidentally uploaded the playlist? Goof and D-Bry is indeed Hall of Fame bound this year and it was announced on accident?
 
Tonight is the last PPV stop on the road to WrestleMania, its also the first WWE event on Peacock.

Here is the card for Fastlane.

Kick-Off Show.

----------------------------------------

United States Championship

Riddle (c) v Mustafa Ali

Seth Rollins v Shinsuke Nakamura

Randy Orton v Alexa Bliss

Intercontinental Championship
Big E (c) v Apollo Crews

Shane McMahon v Braun Strowman

No Holds Barred Match.
Drew McIntyre v Sheamus

Women's Tag Team Championship
Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler (c) v Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair

Universal Championship
Roman Reigns (c) v Daniel Bryan
(Edge ring side in-forcer)

Decent card, worth pointing out that the McMahon-Strowman match is not advertised on WWE.com but is advertised on a few wrestling news sites.
 
Riddle v Ali moved to the pre-show. Shane v Braun might be in doubt as Shane 'tweaked his knee' during his warm up.

No other changes to the card.
 
R.I.P Retribution... You WILL NOT BE MISSED!! :lol::lol:
Feel bad for Mustafa Ali though... The only one who lost because of this trainwreck is him...
 
I think Mace and T-Bar would make a good tag team.

But yeah Ali comes out of it worse.
