Everyone, including WWE, is gearing up for the holiday season. PWInsider.com reported on WWE’s current plans for December television episodes.
Except for December 23rd, WWE will air live episodes of SmackDown every week. WWE will broadcast a live episode the week before and then tape the December 23 episode at the Allstate Arena in Chicago.
WWE will broadcast live episodes of NXT on December 8 and 12. WWE will tape the December 20 and 27 episodes from the Performance Center on December 14 before returning to live episodes on January 6.
It’s still unclear what WWE will do for RAW on December 26, but the RAW brand will have a live event at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. WWE will hold a live SmackDown brand event from MSG that night.
WWE does have a RAW event the week before at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, so WWE may tape that episode of RAW on December 26 the week before.
