Update on WWE Smackdown Live Touring Schedule Post-FOX Move

– As previously reported, PWInsider had details on the changes to the WWE touring schedule after Smackdown Live moves to FOX on Friday, October 4. This would include WWE running a touring loop that would go from Friday through Sunday, except on days where there are Sunday pay-per-view cards. During today’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided an update on the revised touring schedule post-FOX move.

According to Meltzer, the Raw touring schedule will remain the same. However, he stated that Smackdown Live’s general touring schedule will start with a non-televised live event on Thursday, and the Smackdown Live TV show will be broadcast on Friday, with two more house shows on Saturday and Sunday (Except on Sundays featuring a WWE PPV event) before they can return home. Meltzer noted that WWE won’t necessarily keep the format for this schedule every week, but this is the general plan.
