WWE Adds Rare Tuesday Night SmackDown Episode to Summer Schedule

WWE SmackDown is heading to London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, June 23.

WWE has added the show as part of the two new announced dates to its upcoming European Summer Tour, featuring events in May and June across the UK, Spain, France, Portugal, and the promotion’s first-ever Premium Live Event in Italy, Clash in Italy on May 31.

However, the promotion still lists the event as “Friday Night SmackDown,” which could mean the show could air on Friday in its usual timeslot despite being taped on a Tuesday.

The promotion’s announcement read:

“WWE today announced that SmackDown will head to London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, June 23, the night after Raw emanates from the same venue.  

“Additionally, Sheffield’s Utilita Arena will host a live event as part of WWE’s upcoming European Summer Tour on Wednesday, June 24.

“Fans can purchase tickets for SmackDown in London and the event in Sheffield during an exclusive presale starting on Tuesday, May 12, at 10am BST. Tickets will be available on general sale starting Thursday, May 14, at 10am BST by visiting www.wwe.com/events.”

SmackDown previously aired on Tuesday nights regularly from July 19, 2016, to September 24, 2019, until its move to FOX on Friday, October 4, 2019. The show currently airs on the USA Network in the United States and on Netflix in most international markets.
