While the show was streaming live for international audiences, the feed suddenly cut out while Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes were having a segment building up their King of the Ring finals match.

There was a blackout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that caused power to go out. This not only affected the livestream, but power at the arena as well.
“To our international audiences watching [SmackDown],” WWE said on social media. “We apologize for any technical difficulties and should be back up and running shortly.”
