WWE is pre-taping episodes of Raw, NXT, and SmackDown to give talent and staff time off for the holidays. SmackDown matches were filmed in Hershey, Pennsylvania. There's confusion about when and where episodes will air, with potential taping in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Highlights include matches and segments involving Damian Priest, Aleister Black, Giulia, Ilja Dragunov, Carmelo Hayes, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, and Drew McIntyre.
WWE talent and staff members will be getting some much deserved time off for the holidays, but that requires filming enough content for next week's episodes of Raw , NXT and SmackDown ahead of time. Members of the SmackDown roster were at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Monday, the site this week's WWE Raw , and fans in attendance were treated to several matches for an upcoming episode of the Blue Brand.
It's hard to be specific about when these SmackDown matches and segments will air, because there's some confusion on that front. WWE will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan this Friday, but there are reportedly some within the company who are under the impression that they will be filming the December 22 edition of Raw and the December 26 episode of SmackDown at that time, and airing what was recorded yesterday on December 19.Damian Priest opened the show with a promo about the Terror Twins' mixed tag team victory over Aleister Black and Zelina Vega last Friday night.
