Will WWE SmackDown Air Live on November 8 from Glasgow, Scotland?
With WWE SmackDown being overseas next Tuesday, will the show air live?
WWE is set to tour in Europe for their annual fall set of shows overseas. Both Raw and SmackDown will be going there for their shows on November 7 and 8, respectively, which will continue the road to Survivor Series. Both events will take place in Glasgow, Scotland.
As of Tuesday, nothing has been announced for Raw, but SmackDown already has their top match set. This will see Becky Lynch defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss. This got announced at No Mercy, which had been set to see Lynch and Bliss battle for the belt. However, an injury to the former caused this to be postponed.
Given that this show is overseas, though, there’s a question of if fans will be seeing this match live. On Ticketmaster’s website, they listed the November 8 episode of SmackDown for 19:00, which with the time difference in the East Coast of the United States, is 2:00 PM ET. That would mean WWE is taping the show to air later that evening in the U.S.A at 8:00 PM ET, the normal time.
This isn’t surprising as WWE usually tapes shows in the United Kingdom like this and air them later that day. This will mean spoilers are going to be floating around hours in advance. Ratings may be affected for not only SmackDown, but for Raw as well, the latter of which has seen declining viewership.
For those who read spoilers, this will obviously also mean that the Lynch vs. Bliss result will be known before it airs. This could be the difference in WWE choosing to make a title change here or not. Would they risk going through with this before fans see it on TV?
Nonetheless, next Tuesday’s episode of the Blue Brand should provide plenty of sparks.
