J SPORTS
WWE originally scheduled a house show event to be held on July 4, 2015 at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. The promotion then decided to air the event as a WWE Network special and titled it The Beast in the East due to the event featuring Brock Lesnar, whose nickname is "The Beast," and due to the event taking place in Japan. In addition to airing live on the WWE Network, the event also aired live on J Sports in Japan. Replays of the event aired on J Sports 4 in Japan with on demand viewing available on both the WWE Network and J Sports. To date, the show is the only time in WWE's history that an event was broadcast live from Japan.
