WWE Network - Peacock Roll-Out Updates, Classic WCW Content Being Added

Stone Cold Week on the WWE Network continued today with a "Meeting Stone Cold" special on WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin. A "Best Of" compilation for WWE Fastlane was also added this morning.

The WWE Network roll-out on Peacock will begin this Thursday, March 18 and the first classic content addition will be 10 episodes of WCW Saturday Night from 1993. WWE usually adds classic content on Mondays, but it looks like they are adding these WCW episodes on Thursday to coincide with the Peacock roll-out.
