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.
As most following this site would know, it has been an extremely slow week in terms of both archived content and new fresh original content. We have a fairly strong weekend ahead, thankfully, and of course an upcoming Takeover, but it is looking like we’ll be slow again. Let’s take a look:

Closing Thoughts
Yikes, when it comes to original content we have another very slow week. Even the stuff we do have, the NXT episode and Unfiltered suffer from being a preview show and a celebrity interview. So yeah, that isn’t looking good. This past week was slow, but pay-per-view weeks almost always are. Meanwhile this week is saved by the Takeover: London event. Still, looking ahead I hope we get some archived content or a clue as to what’s coming, as most days do not look strong at all.
As always, stick to the WWE Network Chronicle for more news.
