WWE has dialed down the amount of non-televised live events
this month compared to previous months and in fact, there
are only two shows scheduled for the month of September.
All WWE Superstars will have a much lighter schedule,
working just Raw on Monday and Smackdown on Friday for this
month, with the only two live events set for September 28
and 29 in Columbus and Huntsville respectively.
This decision was taken to try and bump up even more
attendances – and prices – for television shows by offering
less shows in the usual markets with the philosophy of “less
is more.” In fact, in October, there are no house shows in
the United States and four as part of a small tour in
England.
In previous months, those on the red brand worked Saturday
and Sunday non-televised live events followed by a live
taping of Raw on Monday while those on the blue brand
started with a live broadcast of Smackdown on Friday and
followed with non-televised shows on Saturday and Sunday,
with the occasional combined supershow for the larger
markets.
