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.
The WWE Network additions below do not reflect everything we’ll see on the WWE Network. As always, we’ll have a RAW, Smackdown, and Main Event episode added from last month. Additionally, we will see at least two WWE Network collections hit the service, with one focusing on hidden gems and the other on Eddie Guerrero. Beyond that, we could see the start of the next classic content drop or more ECW Hardcore TV episodes. But what else is coming throughout the week? Let’s take a look:

Closing Thoughts
I apologize for this being released so late. Due to a combination of a slow week in terms of new content coming and a busy few days with WWE Network news, this slipped my mind. Needless to say, it isn’t an impressive week. Still, with two collections coming plus Backlash, the week isn’t terrible. Hopefully the original content starts coming soon, though.
As always, stick to WWE Network News for the latest WWE Network news, rumors, reviews, polls, and more!
