WWE SmackDown LIVE, July 18 live stream: Watch online

Here is how you can watch WWE SmackDown LIVE this week, via an online stream.

Just five days before WWE Battleground, the SmackDown LIVE cameras roll into Birmingham, Alabama for the final stop before Sunday’s big event. After Monday night’s blockbuster from Raw general manager Kurt Angle, Team Blue takes the stage. Here’s a little of what we can expect this week.

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal has been on an absolute tear since dethroning Randy Orton a couple of months back. They’ve had a brutal rematch, and now the final chapter in that rivalry will be written at Sunday’s Battleground event on the WWE Network. But mere days before their encounter on pay-per-view, the champion has vowed to bring a taste of the Punjabi Prison Match to SmackDown LIVE on Tuesday night.

The last time we saw the Punjabi Prison was a decade ago, when Batista defeated The Great Khali. The first occurrence was in 2006, which saw The Undertaker and Big Show do battle. In a bit of irony, the previous two also headlined SmackDown-specific pay-per-view events, and the third will do the same. What will we see this week when the Modern Day Maharaja unveils the structure to the WWE Universe?

Keep in mind, there will NOT be an airing of Talking Smack! following this week’s episode of SmackDown LIVE. The weekly post-show that was featured on the WWE Network was abruptly canceled late last week. That will now be featured solely after SmackDown-exclusive pay-per-view events.
