In 2021, pro wrestling subscription streamer WWE Network transitioned all content, including live pay-per-view events like WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble, to NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock in the U.S. That’s tens of thousands of hours of squared-circle action included with a standard Peacock sub—as Ric Flair would so eloquently put it, “Wooo!”
The WWE hub on Peacock features over 60 years of new and classic wrestling content from not only World Wrestling Entertainment but also acquired legacy franchises like WCW and ECW. Minus a couple of omissions that will irk cord-cutting fans of Raw and SmackDown, WWE on Peacock hits like an elbow off the top rope.
Watch the best of the WWE on Peacock
WWE Events
Live, formerly pay-per-view events are the crown jewel of Peacock’s WWE hub, exclusively streaming big-time battle bashes like the above-mentioned WrestleMania, Summer Slam, and, well, Crown Jewel. You can watch live as the action is happening, or on demand the next day, at no extra cost beyond your Peacock subscription. Considering that WWE PPV events used to cost upwards of $50 each through cable or satellite, it’s not a bad deal.
Best of WWE
The Best of WWE category is a varied grab-bag of compilation shows like The 50 Greatest Finishing Moves in WWE History, WrestleMania’s Legendary Moments, and The Top 100 Moments in Raw History, as well as historical docuseries like The 50 Greatest, WWE Hall of Fame, and Break It Down. There’s also a dedicated 24/7 Best of WWE channel in Peacock’s “Live” TV section if you’d just rather let it loop than choose a show.
WWE Rivalries
If you love a grudge match—what wrestling fan doesn’t?—WWE Rivalries features such docs as The Rock vs. John Cena, WWE Top 25 Rivalries, and Dream Match Mania. Many shows under Peacock’s WWE mantle cross over into other categories, which means past PPV events also fall in WWE Rivalries, like Money in the Bank, Backlash, and Elimination Chamber. You can also find WWE’s vintage Rebellion events here—check The Rock vs. Triple H in a steel cage match in 1999!
WWE Superstars
WWE Superstars shares several titles with other sections in the WWE hub, mostly documentaries focusing on individual wrestlers like Brock Lesnar, Sasha Banks, and the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin. There’s also Uncool with Alexa Bliss, a talk show wherein the one-time women’s champion interviews fellow wrestlers and celebrities, and The Bump, a weekly SportsCenter-style roundtable series. Young Rock, Dwayne Johnson’s autobiographical NBC sitcom, can also be found in the WWE hub, because why not?
WWE Documentaries
They’re suspiciously scandal-free and corporate, but WWE’s deep bench of documentaries is still an entertaining look into the careers of wrestling’s best. Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, Charlotte Flair, Goldberg, Rey Mysterio, Bianca Belair, Drew McIntyre, and dozens of other current WWE personalities are profiled, and you can also find classic docs about Chris Jericho, Hulk Hogan, The Dudley Boyz, and other wrestling legends. If you’re looking for down-and-dirty wrestling hot goss, check out Dark Side of the Ring on VICE and Hulu.
WWE TV
Weekly WWE network TV shows Raw (Netflix) and NXT (The CW) aren’t available to stream on demand via Peacock like in the past. And thanks to an exclusive deal with Hulu, new SmackDown episodes from USA Network are delayed by 30 days on Peacock, which is as weird as WWE chairman Vince McMahon’s black hair and mustache makeover that makes him look like a lost Mario brother.
