The 39th edition of this esteemed event will once again see 30 men and 30 women go head to head in a battle to be the last superstars standing in the ring.

Of course, the die-hards have had this date in their calendar for months now, but casual British viewers will find it more accessible than ever to soak up the drama.

WWE's Netflix deal means all subscribers can tune in without the need to pay an additional one-off fee, while the location of the event in Saudi Arabia means it will take place at a friendly time for those on the east side of the Atlantic.
