Nothing yet. I believe they're taping Superstars first.

The set is a mishmash of RAW and SD:

At least they didn't use a black cab/telephone box.

Wouldn't exactly fit for Glasgow would it?

Oh Jesus are we going to hear glass cow on commentary all night? Although I guess that was more a JR thing.

They should really just let sky have it live. They haven't exactly been throwing them a lot of bones since the network launched (not that I have any sympathy for sky). Oh well ps4 it is for this evening.

It's kinda of annoying how America centric WWE is.

They bang on about how they're a global brand but really don't seem to give two gooseberry fools about the foreign audience.

I think it's down to contractual obligations with USA Network. I'm sure Sky would be happy to have it, as there's nothing on tonight at all.

It's not just that though.

When's the last time they had a PPV outside of the US?

Remember that ufc card that was in Manchester recently that started at midnight Manchester time? They could possibly do that. People would show up for it. It created endless amounts of ill will towards ufc though and it is disrespectful to your arena crowd.

I suppose you could say NXT London in December. Before that would be the old Sky Box Office shows back in 2003 with Insurrextion, which were basically just house shows after the first SBO show in 1997.

With the death of ppv revenues for wwe I don't understand why a ppv hasn't been brought to the uk or another country. Before the worry was all about ppv sales being down due to spoilers etc but now that's not an issue at all. Saying that I never understood why they couldn't just show a ppv at lunch time on a Sunday in the states anyway, surely that would have been better than delaying it till the evening.

That was awesome. Was on the big screen a fair bit when Sheamus was in the ring doing a promo and during the women's segment and match [emoji1]

WWE do like to market themselves as family entertainment though. There's always going to be a fair amount of younger people in the audience so I don't think they could get away with a midnight start and hope to maintain a arena audience in this country. Even the hardcore adult audience would probably balk at that starting time on a Monday night (and Sundays for PPVs).
