WWE stages SmackDown at London’s O2 and mulls Raw go‑home show ahead of 2027 WrestleMania

WWE pre‑taped this week’s episode of SmackDown at the O2 Arena in London, with the show set to air in the United States on the USA Network. The broadcast featured multiple matches, including Michin and B‑Fab defeating Alexa Bliss and Tiffany Stratton, and highlighted storyline developments such as the breakup of the M.F.T. faction.

Separately, WWE is reportedly discussing the possibility of holding the go‑home edition of Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania 43 at the same London venue. WrestleMania 43 is scheduled for April 2027 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and a London‑based Raw would be the first pre‑WrestleMania episode produced outside North America. WWE previously staged a live Raw at the O2 on 22 June 2026, followed by a SmackDown taping the next day.
