In what seems to be an odd move, WWE will be taping an
episode of Smackdown tonight along with Raw.
What’s interesting is that Smackdown this Friday is live
from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the episode they’re taping
tonight is for the December 26 airing.
Want more confusion? This Friday with the live Smackdown,
WWE is also taping the December 22 episode of Raw!
It’s unclear why they have opted not to tape two episodes of
Raw tonight and two episodes of Smackdown on Friday, which
would have made more sense than taping next week’s Smackdown
broadcast prior to this week’s live episode.
The next time WWE is back live after this Friday is on
December 29, which is an episode of Raw.
The tapings are being done to give WWE Superstars and crew
enough time with their families for Christmas.
WWE kicks off its annual Live Holiday Tour on December 26.
