WWEs latest international broadcast didnt just glitch the entire production lost power.
The June 27th edition of SmackDown, airing live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was supposed to be another global moment for WWEs Netflix deal. Instead, fans watching internationally were hit with a brutal 30-minute outage and now the real reason is out.
According to PWInsider.com, the issue had nothing to do with Netflix. The entire venue lost power, bringing WWEs production to a standstill.
While viewers were stuck with a Pardon the delay message, WWE Superstars kept the live crowd entertained. Cody Rhodes hyped up Night of Champions, and Randy Orton turned the blackout into a party by yeeting with fans inside the arena.
Eventually, the feed returned and Michael Cole and Wade Barrett issued an apology to Netflix viewers for the disruption.
What do you think was WWEs handling of the situation solid, or should they have been better prepared for this kind of technical mess? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
