No SmackDown Taping Next Week

As with recent years, there is no individual SmackDown taping set for this coming week.

As WWE prepares for WrestleMania, all television is set to be taped in one night at this Monday’s Raw event at the Verizon Center in Washington DC.

Raw will air live as usual from 8pm ET, however the event itself is set to start at 6.30pm, allowing time to tape matches for SmackDown, Main Event, Superstars and Saturday Morning Slam.

It’s expected next Friday’s edition of SmackDown will follow previous years formats and feature very little in-ring action, instead focusing on recapping the events leading to WrestleMania and also live segments from the site of WrestleMania Axxess.
