![]() Of course, this card has the obvious stuff as well. There is still a lot in the air for WrestleMania despite it only being three weeks away and that makes for some interesting betting opportunities. The show usually features a lot of heavy favorites with the WrestleMania card being set in stone by this time, but that’s not really the case this year. The Peacock move is only for US subscribers so international WWE fans will use WWE Network as usual.WWE Fastlane 2021 is the last stop before WrestleMania. If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit and link to this page So, I’m sure it’ll all be explained in some form soon enough, and they’ve got to work out all the bugs too.” I would guess the vast majority of people are not gonna be watching the WWE Network for those three days earlier, but some people will. ![]() And also, it’s not gonna be the day of Fastlane, they’re gonna do the transition a couple of days earlier. So, yes, that’s the reason that they didn’t do it right before WrestleMania. Fastlane is probably there as the test run so if something goes wrong it’s Fastlane and they figure it out, rather than start everything up at WrestleMania and then you have a disaster like you had with the last Conor McGregor fight. Meltzer: “Maybe that’s why it’s for Fastlane, because if it is a disaster, it won’t be the disaster at WrestleMania. They should start giving everybody the information as soon as possible, because as we have seen, if you wait until the last minute and everybody starts trying to do something at the exact same time at the last minute, it’s going to be a disaster. They’ve told us nothing if you watch WWE, if you watch Raw, SmackDown, there’s nothing they have told us about this. Meltzer: “Yeah, so you hit the Peacock app.”Īlvarez: “Sure, so they’re gonna have to let everybody know this because right now they have told us nothing. But I’m not gonna hit my WWE Network app and it will all of a sudden magically become Peacock… it’s a different app.” ![]() How they do the transfer is however they do the transfer. You’re gonna have to get a Peacock app, so you are going to have to do something here. But that was absolutely the idea because I asked every question in the world, and they were very forthcoming about that.”Īlvarez: “Well somebody better ask about what happens if you watch on the WWE Network app, because that won’t work. Now, is that what’s gonna end up happening in a month, are they gonna have that all figured out and everything? I don’t know. It’s not like you have to start signing up and all that stuff. But I was told you do not have to do anything. So the original plans when it comes to something like this with technology, it may not be as smooth as they hoped for. Again, that was what I was told, but there’s certain things that they don’t count on or whatever. ![]() Do I turn on Peacock and use my WWE Network login?” Somehow, I’m going to have to get the Peacock app and then however they’re gonna switch the account over. That’s what I was told was the original idea.”Īlvarez: “Maybe if you’re on the computer and you go to the (WWE) Network it will redirect you to Peacock, but if I’m watching on my iPad or my iPhone, and I’ve got a WWE Network app, I’m not gonna open that app and Peacock is gonna magically appear. It was gonna be like ‘bing!’, March 18 you just log in to WWE Network and you’re on Peacock. ![]() You don’t have to do anything – you’re gonna have to learn to navigate Peacock, but it’s not like you’re gonna have to fill out forms for Peacock. That could have changed but I was specifically told when this thing was going on that you will automatically be switched. “I was told that it was switching over for you. Because originally it was gonna be March 18 and the WWE Network would disappear in the United States on March 18. Meltzer: “So I’m presuming that they realise the transition may not be super smooth. Noting WWE would want to have any issues figured out prior to WrestleMania 37, Meltzer speculated on what he had heard about the move, and how live shows will work going forward.Īlvarez: “They had the announcement, so Fastlane you can watch on Peacock OR the WWE Network.” With advertisements promoting “Peacock or the WWE Network”, many are confused about the WWE content switch happening days before the event.īryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed this on Wrestling Observer Radio, theorising that Fastlane could be a “test” event. It was previously thought that US fans would be able to either use Peacock or their local pay-per-view service to watch Fastlane. Fastlane was always planned to be the first live pay-per-view to feature on the service, taking place March 21. It’s been established that on March 18, NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service will be the only place to watch the WWE Network in the United States. ![]()
