Per Joey Votes of WrestleVotes Radio (via Fightful Select), the November 23 WWE RAW from Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas, is expected to start at 6 p.m. ET. The show would stream live on Netflix two hours earlier than usual, at 3 p.m. PT.
As of now, WWE also plans to tape SmackDown at the same venue to give the wrestlers some time off before Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26.
This would be the second time in three weeks that WWE has moved up Raw’s start time for a double taping. The November 2 Raw from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, also started at 6 p.m. ET, and SmackDown was taped immediately after due to travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for Crown Jewel on November 7.
The company did the same on June 29 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The idea was to give the wrestlers and production crew July 3 off, the day before the Fourth of July.
As a result, the November 27 SmackDown, the go-home show for Survivor Series: WarGames, will air on USA Network four days after it’s taped. The pay-per-view is set for the next day, Saturday, November 28, at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.
WWE already has Raw and SmackDown scheduled for the same night on December 21 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., as announced by the venue. According to Fightful, Raw will stream live on Netflix, while SmackDown will air on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25.
