One of the biggest complaints about WWE Network has always been the speed at which they release older content as well as the inconsistency in how they do it. The service added shows at a pretty consistent clip for its first couple months, but since then, it’s been all over the place. The last month or so has been encouraging, with a wide range of old shows added from all sorts of promotions and eras, but we still don’t really know when to expect anything.
In light of this, a fan asked Joey Styles on Twitter when we can expect more ECW shows, and Styles replied:
Because ECW illegally used music we had no rights to, it takes a looooong time to edit the episodes. https://t.co/ck7vuprz4q

This was common in pro wrestling for many years, but ECW did it later than any other major promotion. Music was also a much bigger part of the aesthetic of ECW than it was of other promotions, though, so he’s right that it will take much longer to edit those shows than it would with other promotions.
