WWE Double Taping Episodes Of Raw & Smackdown Next Week

WWE is set to tape staggered double episodes of Raw and Smackdown next week ahead of the holidays. The company is now listing Monday’s Raw in Hershey, Pennsylvania as a Raw and Smackdown taping. In addition, Friday’s Smackdown taping in Grand Rapids, Michigan is also listed as a Raw and Smackdown taping.

Both shows have had their live event start times pushed back to 6 PM. WWE is still advertising next week’s Raw as starting at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, so presumably it will not be affected the same way that international episodes are. WWE has aired overseas shows when they are live, which has meant earlier start times in the US.

A tag team match between The Usos and The New Day is announced for next week’s Raw.
