The season finale of Ride Along, two NXT UK episodes, and new editions of WWE Chronicle and 365 are set to premiere on the WWE Network over the next several days.

Ride Along’s season finale will air on Monday in the Network’s post-Raw time slot. It will feature Edge & Christian and The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan).

Two new episodes of NXT UK are again listed on the Network schedule for Wednesday. They will premiere at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern time. They’ll also be shown on the Network stream at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern, which is after new episodes of 205 Live and NXT.

The NXT UK Women’s title belt will be unveiled on the first episode, and the second episode will feature the beginning of the tournament to crown the inaugural champion. The episodes are from NXT UK’s tapings in Birmingham, England at the end of August.

A new edition of WWE Chronicle will premiere on the Network after NXT TakeOver: WarGames next Saturday (November 17). It will look at Dean Ambrose’s return from injury and the angle where he turned against Seth Rollins. Here’s the description for it: “Get a candid look at Dean Ambrose’s life inside and outside the ring, including his epic return and his shocking betrayal of Seth Rollins.”

WWE has also produced Chronicle episodes on Shinsuke Nakamura leading into WrestleMania 34 and Samoa Joe ahead of SummerSlam this year.

After Survivor Series on November 18, a WWE 365 documentary on AJ Styles and his year as WWE Champion will air on the Network. Here’s the brief description: “Relive AJ Styles’ historic year as WWE Champion both in and out of the ring, and witness The Phenomenal One as you’ve never seen him before!”

A WWE 365 episode on Kevin Owens aired last year, looking at his Universal Championship win, his WrestleMania match against Chris Jericho, and concluded with Owens getting back on track on SmackDown.
