WWE Taping As Many Shows As Possible This Week
A major update on WWE's WrestleMania taping schedule.
WWE is currently hard at work churning out as much content as possible as current events take hold of their taping schedule, with the promotion currently in the midst of producing show upon show upon show before a potential lockdown hits.
This weekend brought news that the promotion planned on taping full episodes of NXT, Raw, SmackDown, and WrestleMania 36 this very week. Following on from this is a new report from Dave Meltzer on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, stating that the promotion is currently working frantically to get as much done as they can.
Meltzer notes that WWE filmed a bunch of content for NXT at Full Sail University on Sunday. Now, they're recording everything through to the Raw after WrestleMania 36, though they may opt to film matches for further out if they need to, which, as Dave points out, is a smart move. The country being shut down seems a matter of when rather than if at the moment.
WWE is dealing with unique circumstances here. Credit to them for taking the lemons handed to them and trying to make lemonade, though 'Mania from an empty Performance Center is still going to be weird.
