WWE: What’s streaming this week

From the celebration of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin Week to the excitement of WWE Fastlane 2021, WWE Network has tons of new and original programming streaming this week as it moves to its new home on Peacock.

To commemorate “Stone Cold’s” 25-year anniversary in WWE, WWE Network Documentaries will premiere two Texas Rattlesnake-themed shows: Meeting Stone Cold (which premieres Tuesday, aka Austin 3:16 Day) features Superstars and Legends recalling their first impressions of Austin, and Birth of the Stunner (dropping Friday) details the origin of his signature move. You can relive some of Austin’s greatest matches on Best of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (Saturday) before catching his no-holds-barred conversation with Randy Orton on a brand-new Broken Skull Sessions (Sunday).

The eyes of the WWE Universe, meanwhile, will be glued to WWE Fastlane 2021 when it streams live this Sunday on Peacock and WWE Network. Featuring Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair and more, WWE Fastlane is not only the first WWE pay-per-view event to stream on Peacock, but it’s also the all-important final stop on The Road to WrestleMania 37.

Check out the full lineup of new premieres and get details on WWE’s move to Peacock below.
