I'll watch Grand Slam Track sounds interesting as I like Track & Field why isn't the main NBC going to air it thou and only on Peacock streaming only. NBC not have enough space to fill on the weekend like The CW does.

One reason is that NBC wants to build peacock as their destination for future sports coverage.   NBC could always decide later to show highlights of the events shown on peacock.

Peacock was the home to them until their contract to carry the WWE Network expired last month. The CW already airs NXT's weekly show on Tuesday nights.

This is just like what the NWA was doing back in 2024 on The CW app. But considering the big bang-up ratings it's doing for the net, CW makes much much sense and is the completely better platform for NXT's PLEs than Peacock.
