Overview
- WWE staged SmackDown at Olimpic Arena Badalona on Friday, May 29 as the official televised go‑home show ahead of the May 31 Clash in Italy.
- The U.S. broadcast will air on tape delay at 8:00 p.m. ET on USA Network while many international viewers can watch the show live via Netflix.
- Only one match was publicly announced for the May 29 episode: Axiom is scheduled to face The Miz in a singles bout.
- Top stars including Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton were advertised to appear as WWE pressed final angles for title programs such as Cody vs. GUNTHER and Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu.
- The European tour that began in Liverpool is being used to build momentum and story beats for the Turin premium live event and the live Netflix feed increases the chance that tape‑delay markets will encounter spoilers.
