WWE Moving 3/20 SmackDown And 3/23 Raw To Performance Center, NXT To Air With “Modified Format”
As expected, WWE will be moving the upcoming episodes of SmackDown and Raw to the Performance Center.
Friday’s WWE SmackDown, originally scheduled to air from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA and Monday’s WWE Raw, originally scheduled to air from the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX have been moved to the Performance Center in Orlando, FL.
WWE has yet to make an official announcement but the arenas have sent out notices and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer confirmed the moves.
NXT will air from the Performance Center on Wednesday. WWE sent the following statement to PWInsider, announcing a modified format for the show.
“Tomorrow night’s NXT will air as regularly scheduled in a modified format with elements ranging from in-depth character profiles and story breakdowns as well as never-before-seen interviews and content.”
WWE has aired full matches from recent Network events on the most recent episodes of Raw and SmackDown. The SmackDown Tag Team Title Elimination Chamber match aired on SmackDown while the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble aired on Raw.
As previously reported, WWE has already moved WrestleMania 36 to the Performance Center.
Fightful will have live coverage of NXT beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
