WWE Fastlane to air on both WWE Network and Peacock
During Sunday’s Elimination Chamber broadcast, WWE advertised that next month’s Fastlane pay-per-view will be available on both WWE Network and Peacock, indicating the Network might not be migrated over by the original announced March 18th date.
While the Sunday, March 21st event was set to be the first PPV of the Peacock era, the original go-live date for the Network on Peacock was Thursday, March 18th. A further indication of a change in date is WWE’s other Sunday announcement that WrestleMania will be “exclusively” on Peacock.
In late-January, WWE and NBCU announced that the Network was moving exclusively onto the Peacock streaming service in the U.S. Industry reports have the deal at five years and more than $1 billion. All current U.S.-based Network subscribers are to be migrated over to Peacock at $4.99 per month for the service with ads and $9.99 per month for an ad-free version with Comcast and Cox cable subscribers getting Peacock for free.
