WWE SmackDown Live, July 4: Watch online

Here’s how you can watch a special July 4 edition of WWE SmackDown! Live, via an online stream.

For the fifth time since it’s debut in 1999, WWE SmackDown! Live will broadcast on the Fourth of July. And plenty of fireworks are sure to be had, as Team Blue rolls into Phoenix for an Independence Day celebration. This week is set to be huge, as we will see the return of 16-time World Champion John Cena!

What will the most patriotic member of the WWE roster have to say when he returns to the scene? Things have been in disarray in recent weeks, and he will likely have tons on his mind. This will be his first appearance since he proposed to Nikki Bella back at WrestleMania 33, so it will be interesting to see what’s on Cena’s mind this week.

Tuesday night in Phoenix, we will see a rap battle…and no, it won’t involve John Cena. This will involve the WWE SmackDown! Live Tag Team Champions, The Usos, and The New Day. These two sides will face off at WWE Battleground for the titles, but the will put their mic skills on display three weeks ahead of that match. Who will steal the spotlight this week and win the lyrical war?

Speaking of championship matches, the WWE SmackDown! Live Women’s Championship will be on the line. Lana, better known as the “Ravishing Russian,” was unsuccessful in her latest attempt at defeating Naomi for the title. But she caught a break when she reviewed footage of that match, and noticed her shoulders weren’t completely down during the pin. She took to Twitter and demanded another match, and is has been signed for this week.

And what better way to celebrate July 4th than with an Independence Day Battle Royal! The winner of that match will get a shot at Kevin Owens and the United States Championship. You can bet that the “Face of America” will keep a close eye on the battle royal, so he can scout his prospective challenger.
