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. We may even see the next classic content drop begin, or even some collections appear. But what else is coming throughout the week? Let’s take a look:
Monday – May 29th
WWE Table For 3 (11:06 PM EST)
“Old grudges are settled when the creative and controversial Eric Bischoff, Jim Cornette, and Michael Hayes gather for the first time ever!“
Tuesday – May 30th
WWE 205 Live (10 PM EST)
“The greatest performers from WWE’s Cruiserweight division showcase their unparalleled abilities on 205 Live!”
WWE Talking Smack (10:45 PM EST)

Wednesday – May 31st

Saturday – June 3rd
This Week in WWE (3 PM EST)
“Get caught up on all the highlights from Raw and SmackDown LIVE with This Week in WWE.“
Sunday – June 4th
WWE Extreme Rules 2017 Kickoff (7 PM EST)
“Renee Young, David Otunga, Peter Rosenberg, and guests preview WWE Extreme Rules Live from Baltimore, MD!“
WWE Extreme Rules 2017 (8 PM EST)

Closing Thoughts
Although it’s another slow week for original programming on WWE Network, the standard slate of PPV scheduling helps once again. A long-awaited episode of Table for 3 (featuring Jim Cornette, Eric Bischoff and Micheal Hayes) is the only real highlight outside of Extreme Rules.
Strangely, NXT has a standard description as of writing, though we do know that Roderick Strong and Kassius Ohno will face Sanity in the main event.
Finally, the February 13th, 1987 episode of Prime Time Wrestling will air on the live stream on Friday at 9 PM EST with replays throughout Saturday. It seems like this has become standard scheduling and may be an attempt to throw a bone to those subscribers without access to the VOD library.
