WWE Announces Upcoming SmackDown Episode Will Take Place on Tuesday
Ringside News • • entertainment
Key Points:
- WWE will hold a special Tuesday night edition of SmackDown on June 23 at The O2 Arena in London, following a Raw event at the same venue on June 22.
- Despite the Tuesday date, the show is still advertised as "Friday Night SmackDown," indicating it will likely be taped in advance and aired later that week.
- This taping schedule is unusual compared to previous European tours, where SmackDown was typically broadcast live or taped the same day as airing.
- The European tour also includes a live event at Utilita Arena Sheffield on June 24 and marks WWE's first Premium Live Event in Italy.
- WWE's decision to tape SmackDown days ahead of airing raises concerns about potential spoilers and the impact on the viewing experience in the social media age.
