The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that the WWE will be producing 4 different shows the final week of July: one live, and three taped. The reasoning behind this is that the RAW crew will be going to Australia the first week of August, and the SmackDown crew will be heading to South Africa.
Monday Night Raw will be broadcasted live on July 22nd from Austin, Texas. The next night, Tuesday, July 23rd, the WWE will record Monday Night Raw for July 29th in Laredo, Texas. On Wednesday, July 24th, Smackdown for July 26th will be recorded from Corpus Christi, TX. Then the next night, Thursday, July 25th in Houston, they will hold tapings for the August 2nd episode of SmackDown. These are a lot of television tapings one after the other, and it will be an exhausting schedule for all involved.
