WWE’s taped programming will soon be no more.
As originally recorded by WrestleVotes, WWE will go live on Friday, Aug. 21, with a new episode of SmackDown prior to SummerSlam. Going forward, the plan is to put on live shows for RAW and SmackDown. All of the shows will emanate from the same place in the northeast United States.
WWE’s new plan is to restart LIVE programming beginning w/ the SmackDown prior to SummerSlam, continuing throughout the weekend w/ the PPV & into RAW. Fans are still TBD. 1 location for all. Not certain on exact location as of yet.
NXT TakeOver will still take place in Orlando.

There’s no word yet if any fans will be allowed, either, or if NXT will follow suit. PWInsider and Fightful have also confirmed the report by WrestleVotes.
