Rumors and Spoilers Erupt Online for Upcoming WWE SmackDown, Prompting Outrage from Fans Ahead of Netflix Premiere

Rumors and Spoilers Erupt Online for Upcoming WWE SmackDown, Prompting Outrage from Fans Ahead of Netflix Premiere

Fans attending the recent WWE SmackDown show in London were treated to a thrilling night of wrestling, including the highly anticipated debut of England's own Blake Monroe.

After months of hype, Blake finally made her first appearance on the blue brand and revealed her first rivalry in the process. However, some fans at home expressed disappointment that her debut was on a taped show, claiming it had been spoiled online.

One fan complained, 'You had a thousand chances to debut Blake the right way, and you chose a taped show. What a clown move.' Others questioned why WWE decided to debut her on a pre-taped show.

Despite some criticism, many fans pointed out that Blake debuting in the UK was the perfect spot, regardless of when the show airs. 'No, they did not waste Blake Main Roster debut because London was the perfect place for her to debut at,' argued one fan.

Blake's highly anticipated arrival comes after weeks of vignettes hyping up The Glamour's arrival. In a recent interview, she promised WWE and SmackDown audiences had never seen anything like her, describing herself as 'a woman as versatile as me.'

In addition to Blake's debut, fans were also treated to an untelevised match between Oba Femi and Seth Rollins against Bron Breakker and Austin Theory, as well as a special broadcast of England's match against Ghana after the show.
