While it may come as no surprise to wrestling fans, the WWE has confirmed both RAW and SmackDown for next week will be airing live from the Performance Center. We reported earlier here at EWrestlingNews that RAW will be taking place at the Performance Center as well, next week. This is likely to be the trend through at least mid-April until further notice. SmackDown was supposed to air from the Smoothie King Central arena in New Orleans. The staff has released the following statement on Twitter.
This Friday night, Friday Night SmackDown will air live as regularly scheduled from WWE’s training facility in Orlando, with only essential personnel in attendance. The originally scheduled event in New Orleans, has now been rescheduled to Friday Night SmackDown on November 13. pic.twitter.com/xcXrvYCpQW
