Every Thursday or Friday night the WWE Network updates its schedule advertising new content set to air on the live stream in the coming week. It should be noted that like anything, schedules are tentative and air times, air dates, and programs are always subject to change. Additionally, this reflects only what is set to air on the Network stream and does not include content added directly to the video-on-demand service.
This week in particular has a lot of intrigue due to it being billed as “Undertaker Week”. Like most themed weeks, we will have a lot of content centered around that theme and likely not much else. Let’s take a look and see what is set to air this week.

Closing Thoughts
The WWE Network additions this week are mostly Undertaker-based. This is good news for fans of “The Deadman” however I’m sure some will be disappointed at the lack of Table For 3 and Breaking Ground. I can certainly understand that sentiment but I am looking forward to all the content we will be seeing.
In particular, JBL’s Legends returning is good news, although the more round-table style format will definitely give the show a different feel to the Eric Bischoff interview. I hope this style delivers as well as the previous style. The two hour “Gravest Matches” special should also deliver a lot of fun.
Of note, another Smackdown from 2000 dropped tonight however it is still unknown if these are lingering leftovers or if they are apart of a new drop. It will be interesting to see how next week goes for the Network, and as always we will update you on everything WWE Network as it comes!
