As we draw closer to SummerSlam, WWE rivalries will inevitably continue to heat up on this week’s SmackDown live stream. In case you missed last week: here’s the TL;DR: Kofi Kingston mucked around in old history with Randy Orton before taking down Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens slammed Shane McMahon’s smug face into the ground, and Dolph Ziggler crashed Miz TV to blast Shawn Michaels while The Miz looked on with glee. Finn Balor also resurrected his old feud with Bray Wyatt’s sunny new persona by challenging him to a match at SummerSlam with “The Fiend,” which sounds like a terrific opportunity for Balor to pull out The Demon!
This week on the SmackDown live stream, you can expect to see The New Day face off against Elias and Drew McIntyre in an epic tag team match and the legendary Trish Stratus make an appearance on Jerry Lawler’s King’s Court (no doubt to hype her upcoming appearance at SummerSlam). Sadly we may not see ex-Universal titleholder Balor take on Ziggler as WWE previously planned. Balor tweeted a smiling photo from his hospital bed on June 28 captioned “Summerslam,” which likely means the Irishman won’t be cleared for the ring in time for tonight’s festivities. Still, it’s possible he could draw some sort of miraculous recovery from his abs of steel and appear, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.

WWE Network is the best way to watch a WWE SmackDown live stream for free. If you’re not already a convert, the news is good: Your first month is on the house, which means you can watch WWE Smackdown without paying a dime. After that, the service costs just $9.99 per month, but you can cancel anytime. Considering WWE Network lets you stream all 14 yearly pay-per-view events at no additional cost, that’s an incredible deal. Just think about how many times you’ve paid $60 to watch one PPV. For that same amount, you’ll get a whole year of WWE Network—and access to all past events. Between NXT, RAW, and Smackdown Live, you’ll be able to watch all your faves hit the mat on a weekly basis, and you’ll also get access to documentaries, reality programming like My Son/Daughter Is a WWE Superstar, and originals like Wrestlemania Rewind.
Other ways to watch the WWE SmackDown Live stream for free
While you’ll need a WWE membership to watch PPV events, Raw and SmackDown Live air on the USA Network every week. If you’re looking to watch one or both as well as get a cable package, one of these might work for your needs.

If you’re a fan of WWE’s weekly shows, you can watch them on Sling TV. It offers two cable packages, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, both of which cost $25 per month. If you grab them both (Sling Orange + Blue), you can save $10 per month. Sling Blue offers more bang for your buck with m0re than 40 channels, including sports necessities like FS1, NBCSN, and NFL Network. You’ll also gain access to the usual cable mainstays like Food Network, Discovery, Cartoon Network, SYFY, and FXX. Here’s the complete guide to Sling TV channels.

Hulu with Live TV is definitely one of the most popular ways to stream live TV—probably because you gain access to a massive library of on-demand content including classic and current TV shows and movies along with Hulu’s original programming. As far as live-streaming is concerned, you’ll have almost 60 channels to flip through, including HGTV, a full suite of ESPN channels, Cartoon Network, FX, and even deep cuts like Nat Geo Wild and Syfy. Here’s the complete list of Hulu Live TV channels.

If you have a PS4 and like the idea of having your gaming and streaming needs met in the same place, PlayStation Vue is made for you. Jumping from your favorite game to your favorite show is seamless, and controlling it is as intuitive as playing an actual game. After all, your PS4 controller is your remote. Still, you don’t need a PS4 to enjoy this service. You can also use a Roku, Amazon Fire devices, and even Kodi. Plus, you’ll get awesome channels like AMC, BBC America, and Bravo in PlayStation Vue’s entry-level package. One subscription works with up to five devices, all with unlimited cloud DVR storage, which makes it one of the most binge-friendly solutions. (Here are all of PlayStation Vue channels.)

YouTube TV is a great solution for families because one subscription can add up to six accounts, and each account comes with unlimited cloud DVR. There are sports channels like NBCSN, NBA TV, and four ESPN channels. Disney, Disney XD, Disney Junior, and Cartoon Network will keep any kid (or kid at heart) busy for hours. It also comes with a few Spanish-language channels like Telemundo and NBC Universo. AMC, BBC America, and IFC are there too, so you won’t miss out on all that prestige TV.
