The September 4 WWE SmackDown has been taped ahead of time, meaning that spoilers are now available for next week’s show.
The taping took place on August 28 and also saw the Raw 31 recorded a few days in advance. The reason for the batch tapings is so the wrestlers and staff are able to have an extended break before the South America tour begins next month. The taping took place in Cleveland, Ohio, and means that there will be no live WWE broadcast until Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6.
Those in attendance were able to provide spoilers to the matches and segments that took place at the Raw taping. The spoilers have been obtained via Fightful.
