If you’re a fan of power slams, clotheslines and high flying frog splashes, then you will be more than familiar with the world of WWE. The leader in sports entertainment is currently going through a popular resurgence, and pro wrestling fans are asking how and where they can catch all upcoming action live and On Demand.
WWE Raw & Smackdown TV Preview
WWE is split into three brands, Raw, Smackdown and NXT, each with their own specific roster of wrestlers and title belts. Each of these brands run weekly shows that give fans a regular chance to see their favourite stars, more often than not broadcast live from arenas across the USA and Canada.
Raw started in 1993 and is the longest running show in WWE history, often associated with the company’s more outlandish and colourful stars. Smackdown came along a little later in 1999, and has really come to the fore as a fan favourite over the past 10 years. NXT is much like a feeder to RAW and Smackdown, where the powers at WWE trial new wrestlers and check out their popularity with fans before moving them onto their bigger shows.
Featuring the likes of Brock Lesner, Ronda Rowsey, Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns, every weekly event from the WWE is now available live or on demand in Australia, and using the information in this guide, you can find exactly how and where to watch them.
