The trend of taped episodes of WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown will continue next month.
WWE has started taping episodes a week in advance more often than usual as the touring schedule continues to shift, and the company looks to cut back even more on house shows in 2025.
Next week’s episode of Raw will be taped after doing so on Monday night. As previously reported, WWE plans to tape the November 29th episode of SmackDown a week in advance on November 22 in Salt Lake City so staff and wrestlers can have Thanksgiving off.
PWInsider.com reports WWE will tape the December 20th episode of SmackDown on December 13th in Hartford, CT, at the XL Center and the Raw show on December 23rd, the week prior, on December 16th in Boston, MA, at the TDBank Garden.
WWE will air live Raw episodes on December 2nd, 16th, and 30th, and SmackDown will air live on December 6th, 13th, and 27th.
