The next episode of WWE SmackDown has been taped ahead of time.
Taking place after the December 13th episode of SmackDown went off the air at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The reason for the pre-taping is so the roster and staff can be given an extended break for the holidays. The same will occur on the December 16th episode of Raw to also allow the stars of the red brand some time off.
Those in attendance were able to provide results to the matches and segments that took place at the SmackDown taping.
