Friday Night SmackDown experienced technical problems for the live worldwide broadcast of the show from Saudi Arabia.
Beginning at 1 p.m. ET for worldwide viewers on Netflix, the show began with Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton involved in a promo segment in the ring when the feed cut out and didn’t return for approximately thirty minutes.
When they regained the feed, Michael Cole apologized for the technical problems they experienced before moving on with the show.
It shouldn’t affect the tape-delayed version of the program, which airs at 8 p.m. ET on the USA Network tonight.
