That’s what’s next. One of the many changes in WWE’s recent months has been an expansion of its international events. This has seen the company moving around the world and showcasing their work in all kinds of locations that they do not head to very often. That can cause some changes to what happens in the United States though, which is what was covered earlier this week.

WWE is heading to Japan for an international tour later this month and will not be back in time for next week’s SmackDown. Therefore, the July 26 edition of SmackDown was taped in advance at the CHI Health Arena in Omaha, Nebraska after this week’s show. Here are the full results, courtesy of F4WOnline.com:
* LA Knight beat Santos Escobar. Logan Paul attacked Knight after the match.
* A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory) took part in a promo segment with boxer Terence Crawford. Crawford knocked out Theory during the segment.
* Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton beat Bayley & Michin.
* Number 1 Contender’s Tag Team Gauntlet: The Bloodline beat The Street Profits, Legado Del Fantasma, The OC, Baron Corbin & Apollo Crews, and Pretty Deadly.
There is always the chance that backstage segments which were taped in advance could be added into the show as well. The following week will be back to live as usual.
It needs to be a good follow up. Check out what happened on this week’s SmackDown:

Opinion: This is something that has to happen every so often and that’s not a bad thing. The show will be perfectly fine as a placeholder before we get to the final SmackDown before Summerslam. We are in one of the most important times of the year for WWE and thankfully they have what looks to be an interesting enough show as we move on to the final push towards Summerslam.
