When will the WWE Network be on Peacock? Thanks to some rather poor advertising and fans caught incredibly off guard, it's a question many appear to be asking.

Let's not bury the lede. We can add the context of what's happening after answering the question. Don't want to be that recipe blog where I spent 2,000 words on my childhood before telling you how to bake a muffin.

When Will The WWE Network Be On Peacock: March 18

The first major WWE Network event on Peacock will be FastLane. After that, though, it'll be the wrestling company's biggest annual event, WrestleMania. Still, the “when will the WWE Network be on Peacock” question comes a few days prior to that event on the 18th (the event is on the 21st).

A few things to note about this WWE Network-Peacock marriage in quick fashion: If you live in the United States, your only option for the WWE streaming service is Peacock (those abroad can still use their normal WWE Network subscription). It also appears the library of content will slowly be moved over to the new streaming service, as it takes time to move hundreds of thousands of hours of copy from one platform to another.

The good news? In theory, at least initially, WWE Network subscribers will be paying roughly 40 percent less to get the product through Peacock with the added feature of getting that platform's entire library. The bad? As mentioned, at least initially, it might appear the new version of the Network will be a bit bare bones.

It's not yet known if Peacock will create a specific hub for the WWE Network. For those who use that service now know, there really aren't easy to navigate hubs at the moment. There's a few tabs where you can select between movies, shows, sports, etc., but then you have to do some work to find specific genres and types of content.

Given the lack of original programming on the service at the moment, it's not a big deal. Now that we know when will the WWE Network will be on Peacock, it's probably safe to assume the streaming service will attempt to highlight its new (and huge) property in a big time way.

That's 100 percent conjecture on my end. Nonetheless, with the WWE Network-Peacock marriage happening on March 18, it's now leading to rumors of Vince McMahon eventually selling the entire company to NBC. All of that is also firmly rooted in the realm of speculation, but if pro wrestling fans love anything above all else, it's theorizing about what can be next.
