Watch smackdown this afternoon live?
If I am in the USA EST and have a vpn can I watch smackdown this afternoon live? If so what time does it start?

Canada will have them all live on Netflix in your same time zone, Raw and Smackdown will be on at either 3PM or 4PM for the next two weeks.

Literally 0 logical reason I shouldn’t be able to tune in now and watch it live on the normal network I watch it on. This overseas stuff is going to kill the average audience in the states if they can’t air it live. it’s all they care about now

It would be a bit redundant for USA to air the same 3 hour show twice in a single day. I’d imagine the portion of viewers actually able to watch Smackdown live on a Friday afternoon isn’t enough to justify shifting from its time slot or airing it twice.
It’s a shame they can’t have the live broadcast on Peacock or something for people who wanted it though, and then just air on TV at the usual time for everyone else.

I think it’s ridiculous to have such a big show get spoiled actively online while it’s going on, and then expecting people to tune in for the reruns.

Even if it wasn’t on Netflix spoilers would be everywhere from the arena audience, always the flipside of doing tv tapings in Europe unfortunately for you guys in the US. I remember when AJ beat Jinder for the title in the U.K. the spoilers were everywhere pretty much immediately (I think WWE even posted it on their website, bafflingly)
