How to watch WWE SummerSlam from anywhere
SummerSlam fans who are outside the location where their streaming service works can still tune in with the help of a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are cybersecurity tools that enable people to alter their virtual locations. So if you happen to be away from the UK or Canada at the moment, for example, you can still watch via Netflix with a VPN. They’re popular apps among those hoping to access their usual websites and apps while traveling abroad or boost their online privacy and security.
As far as VPNs go, our top recommendation is consistently NordVPN. We’ve found that it can work with various websites and apps, like those mentioned above, and has some top-notch security features in its long-term contracts, which can help boost your day-to-day safety on the internet. Plus, it’s a beginner-friendly option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can read more about it in our NordVPN review, and see below to learn how to use a VPN.

NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs.
How to use a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don’t already have one.
- Install it on the device you’re using to watch.
- Turn it on and set it to the location of your streaming service, like the UK or Canada.
- Log in to your Netflix account.
- Enjoy the program!
