Monday Night RAW To Be Pre-Taped, 205 Live and NXT To Air Special Programming
WWE will be providing talent days off during the holiday season, and this will affect some programming.
WWE was originally scheduled to pre-tape the 12/23 episode of Monday Night RAW on Tuesday 12/17 in Sioux City, IA, but due to “scheduling conflicts” that show was cancelled.
The company has yet to announce when that episode will be taped, but it could occur following Friday Night SmackDown on 12/20 in Brooklyn. WWE will not be airing a live episode of 205 Live that night.
The company is scheduled to air “Best of 205 Live” episodes on 12/20 and 12/27. The next live episode of the show is scheduled to take place on 1/3 from the Fedex Forum in Memphis, TN.
WWE NXT will not air live episodes on 12/25 and 1/1, but does have replacement programming scheduled to air on the USA Network.
WWE talent will be off from 12/22 – 12/26.
