WWE’s taping schedule heading into SummerSlam was revealed last week as the event will take place on August 23 at the Performance Center.
Dave Meltzer has some notes on how WWE is approaching their tapings this time. Per the report, WWE is not planning to do the tapings out of order as they did for WrestleMania. This past April, they taped WrestleMania after they taped the Raw and Smackdown after the show.
It was noted that they “can’t trust themselves” to move forward with plans without changing their minds before a PPV.
The plan is to keep the Raw, Smackdown and NXT brands separate as it would limit COVID-19 exposure to just one brand if an outbreak happens again.
