Update on RAW and SmackDown Episodes for Christmas and New Year’s

Last year, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day both fell on a Monday.  And unlike in years past, WWE Monday Night RAW aired LIVE on both holidays (as did SmackDown Live on 12/26/2017 and 1/2/2018).

This year, with Christmas Eve on a Monday and Christmas Day on a Tuesday, WWE RAW and SmackDown will both air on tape delay.  The December 24th edition of Monday Night RAW will be taped on December 17th, after that evening’s live RAW episode from Sacramento concludes.  The December 25th edition of SmackDown Live will be taped on December 18th, after that evening’s live episode from Fresno, CA concludes.

The New Year’s Eve edition of Monday Night RAW will be taped Friday December 28th from Detroit, and the New Year’s Day edition of SmackDown Live will be taped Saturday December 29th from Pittsburgh.
