The holiday season is approaching for everyone, including WWE. Pwinsider.com reported the current plan for WWE regarding television episodes in December.
WWE will air live episodes of Friday Night SmackDown every week except for December 23rd. WWE will air a live episode the week before and then tape the December 23 episode after the live edition in Chicago at the Allstate Arena.
For NXT, WWE will air live episodes on December 8 and 12. On December 14, WWE will tape the December 20 and 27 episodes from the Performance Center before resuming live episodes on January 6.
It’s still unclear what WWE will do for Raw on December 26, but the Raw brand does have what is being advertised as a live event in Columbus, Ohio, at the Nationwide Arena. That night, WWE will hold a live event from MSG for the SmackDown brand.
