The two Monday shows (this week’s from Düsseldorf, Germany, and next’s from Belfast, Northern Ireland) will air live in the afternoon in the United States, as Netflix streams the show as it’s happening from wherever it is. The two Friday shows (last week’s from Berlin, and today’s from London) will stream live on Netflix for most of the globe — but in the United States, both
SmackDowns will air on tape in their usual time at 8 p.m. ET on USA in the United States. 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: New WWE champion Drew McIntyre will be on hand, fresh off his victory over Cody Rhodes in last week’s Three Stages of Hell match, and the road to determining his first challenger begins with four qualifying matches (Randy Orton vs. The Miz, Sami Zayn vs. Ilja Dragunov, Damian Priest vs. Solo Sikoa, and Matt Cardona vs. Trick Williams), Men’s United States champ Carmelo Hayes holds an open challenge… and more!
We’ll update this post as results come in from OVO Wembley, which should be at 3 p.m. Eastern.
