Two upcoming WWE Raw episodes to have early start times
After tonight, the next two episodes of WWE Raw will both have early start times.
Raw is being held in Baltimore, Maryland tonight (June 15) before heading to London, England on June 22 and Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 29. Because it’s taking place from the United Kingdom, the London episode will air live on Netflix at 2 p.m. Eastern. The following week will also begin earlier than usual despite being back in the United States. Netflix lists the start time for that episode as 6 p.m. Eastern.
The reason the June 29 episode has an early start time is because Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City is hosting both a live Raw episode and SmackDown taping that night. The July 3 episode of SmackDown is being taped in advance due to the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Upcoming WWE international dates —
WWE recently returned from its European tour but is heading back to the UK this weekend for events in Cardiff, Birmingham, London, and Sheffield. That includes London’s O2 Arena hosting Raw on June 22 and SmackDown on June 23, with that SmackDown episode also being taped in advance due to WWE having Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia coming up on Saturday, June 27.
The Cardiff (June 20), Birmingham (June 21), and Sheffield (June 24) dates are all house shows.
