Furious WWE fans jump on SmackDown spoilers days before show airs on Netflix

As the lights dimmed at the London venue hosting SmackDown, anticipation hung in the air, much like the excitement that would soon turn to frustration among fans watching at home. For those in attendance, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. They were treated to a fantastic show, with superstars and crew setting the stage for an electrifying night. However, for those who would have to wait, their excitement was short-lived, replaced by a sense of disappointment and frustration.

The show, taped a few days early, had already revealed some huge matches featuring the likes of Nathan Frazer, Paige, and Giulia. Fans knew that stars like GUNTHER and Cody Rhodes would be appearing, but it was a surprise debut that would leave a sour taste in the mouths of many. England's own Blake Monroe finally made her first appearance on the blue brand, revealing her first rivalry in the process. The moment was meant to be a defining one for fans in the arena, but it was marred by the knowledge that it had been spoiled online.

As news of the debut spread, fans took to social media to express their discontent. X user @25_saurav complained, "You had a thousand chances to debut Blake the right way, and you chose a taped show. What a clown move." Others simply asked why WWE decided to have her debut on a taped show. And another fan, @NN_Graps, argued, "Another reason why it was such an odd choice to wait until a pre-taped London show is Blake now has to no-sell this and wait for Friday night to acknowledge her presence on The New A Show."

The debate surrounding Blake's debut was a contentious one, with fans divided on whether it was the right call by WWE. Even before the show, one fan had predicted Blake's debut, but insisted it wouldn't be the right call. @LoEl81 wrote, "It will be taped and everyone will know about it, probably even seen clips, before it even airs on Friday. Kinda ruins the surprise and moment, but I'd take it right now." Despite some people sharing the sentiment, there were plenty more who pointed out that Blake debuting in the UK was the perfect spot, regardless of when the show airs. @ThunderRail98 argued, "No, they did not waste Blake Main Roster debut because London was the perfect place for her to debut at."

The perfect storm of anticipation, excitement, and frustration was a difficult one to navigate for WWE. They had managed to create a buzz around Blake's debut, but by doing so on a taped show, they had also spoilt the moment for fans at home. It's a delicate balance between creating hype and maintaining the surprise, and it seems WWE fell short in this instance.

As the Friday night show approaches, fans will finally get to see Blake Monroe's debut play out in its entirety. But for those who had their moment spoilt, the wait has been a long and frustrating one. As the anticipation builds, it will be interesting to see how WWE addresses the situation and whether it will have any impact on the show's overall success.

The WWE's handling of Blake Monroe's debut has raised questions about the timing of taped shows and the impact it has on fans at home. It's a reminder that professional wrestling, timing is everything, and sometimes, even the best-laid plans can go awry.

As a writer, I couldn't help but wonder if the backlash against WWE's decision was justified. Was it a mistake to debut Blake on a taped show, or was it a calculated move to create buzz and excitement? Whatever the reason, one thing is certain, the experience has left fans talking, and only time will tell if it will have a lasting impact on WWE's future plans.

In the end, the debate surrounding Blake Monroe's debut will continue to rage on, with opinions divided on whether it was the right call by WWE. But for fans who had their moment spoilt, one thing is certain, the wait has been a long and frustrating one, and they'll be eagerly awaiting the Friday night show to see how it all plays out.
