WWE sets up three days of tapings in Florida
WWE is continuing to move ahead with filming new episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT this week with three days of taping planned according to a report by Post Wrestling and later verified by our Dave Meltzer.
- Wednesday, July 1st: Two weeks of The Great American Bash episodes will be filmed. Wednesday’s will air that night with the other episode airing the following week.
- Thursday, July 2nd: The July 3rd and July 10th SmackDowns will be filmed in addition to 205 Live.
- Friday, July 3rd: The July 6th and July 10th episodes of Raw will be filmed in addition to WWE Main Event and Raw Talk.
This Monday’s Raw was filmed earlier Saturday at the Performance Center. Post also reported that two additional NXT episodes that were to be filmed Thursday are now off.
The changes come as WWE deals with a slew of positive COVID-19 tests that already required some postponements. Several producers and broadcasters (Renee Young, Kayla Braxton, Adam Pearce, and Jamie Noble) have publicly said they tested positive.
