More on WWE’s Live Event Schedule Following the Brand Split
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, when the upcoming WWE brand split takes place, the Smackdown crew will likely tour from Saturday – Monday before the live Smackdown TV taping on Tuesday. The Raw crew will likely then tour from Friday – Sunday before the live Monday TV taping.
As we noted yesterday, the current plan is for each show to have its own World Champion, and it’s possible, but not yet confirmed that the Womens Division will appear on both shows. If that indeed is the case, the Womens schedule could potentially run from Friday – Tuesday, unless they are given Fridays off.
