WWE is taping this Friday’s Smackdown tonight at London’s O2 Arena, tapings which are done to limit WWE’s time on the ground in Saudi Arabia for this weekend’s Night of Champions.
The show will start early for those attending and then WWE will screen the FIFA World Cup game between England and Ghana after the company reached an agreement with FIFA and The O2 to show the game to all the fans who attend.
Tickets suffered big time due to the football game, with only just under 7,000 tickets distributed for this show. It’s better than what they had last week and they moved over 2,000 tickets since the FIFA announcement.
The show will not air on Netflix today for international viewers and will air regularly on Friday night starting at 8PM ET.
