#3 For the news to get out so that people tune in

This week's episode of SmackDown happened in Manchester and I'm sure anyone who's on a certain number of pro wrestling groups saw the spoiler when they logged in tonight. Because of the time difference, shows in the United Kingdom are taped, and WWE allows for the news to leak so that more people tune in.

When there's a certain amount of hype around the episode, a lot more people tune in. I mean when the whole Saudi Arabia travel incident happened, a lot more people tuned in to see what the company would do with all of their top stars missing.

So with the news of the NXT invasion and the tag team title change making its way to websites like ours, fans may have been compelled to watch the show. Or they may not have, based on whether or not they were intrigued enough with the spoilers.

But this was definitely one of the 'reasons'.
