Fans attending Raw at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa on
August 24 will now be sitting in for a double television
taping as Smackdown will also be taped immediately following
the conclusion of the live Raw broadcast.
Raw on that day will start at 6PM ET live on Netflix due to
the double taping.
Meanwhile, another double taping will also be held a few
days later on Friday, August 28, with both Raw and Smackdown
back-to-back at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Judging from past double tapings, the August 24 taping of
Smackdown will air on August 28 while the August 28 taping
of Smackdown will air on September 4 so the show will not be
live for two weeks in a row. The Raw taped on August 28 will
then air on August 31.
It’s unclear why there are two double tapings especially
since WWE will not be overseas during that period, with
their South American tour starting on September 9.
