We continue to get a lot of questions asking about when WWE will resume their documentaries on the WWE Network and Peacock as with the exception of their 9/11 documentary, there haven't been new ones released for several months despite docs being 100% complete (Lex Luger, Vladimir the Superfan, etc.) and others in the middle of being worked on (The Nexus). There has been talk within the company in recent weeks that the docs may be getting shopped around to see about outside interest for them on other streaming or broadcast networks. A&E seems to make the most sense given how successful the WWE Biography specials were over the summer, but we have been unable to confirm 100% that any talks are ongoing, just that WWE is interested in exploring that strategy.
A number of readers sent word that despite stating when they licensed the WWE Network that there would be no commercials during the live streams of WWE PPV events, Peacock inserted commercials during a number of ring entrances at the Extreme Rules PPV this past Sunday. We are told this was a Peacock move, not something WWE had any involvement in. Those who get the free or Premium tiers saw the commercials while those subscribing to Premium Plus did not. Attempts to get clarification or comments from Peacock this week went unanswered.
The October vintage drop on the WWE Network and Peacock will either be more WWF Superstars episodes from the 1990s or potentially a new round of WWE Old School episodes made up of content from WWE house shows. The final decision should be made shortly.
Crown Jewel is currently the only WWE special listed internally for the month of October with Peacock.
