In addition to tomorrow’s Royal Rumble premium live event in Saudi Arabia, WWE is holding the Jan. 30 SmackDown in Riyadh. It won’t will air live in the afternoon in the United States, instead running in its usual 8 p.m. Eastern spot on USA Network. But SmackDown is on Netflix in most of the world, and always airs live on the streaming service. And that means spoilers will be available for folks in the U.S. who don’t want to wait (or download Stephanie McMahon’s VPN of choice).
Advertised for the
show: WWE champion Drew McIntyre and his Royal Rumble champion Samia will have a face-to-face, and Carmelo Hayes will hold his latest United States championship open challenge. We expect lots of hype for tomorrow’s battle royals — both ones who’ve already been announced, and surprises, follow-up on the MFTs defeating The Wyatt Sicks for the WWE Tag titles last week… and more!
We’ll update this post as results come in from the King Abdullah Financial District, which should be at noon Eastern.
