WWE RAW pre-taped tonight due to Christmas holiday schedule

WWE pre-recorded tonight’s episode of RAW at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, ahead of the Christmas holiday break. The December 23 edition marks the penultimate episode before the show transitions to Netflix in the new year.

The decision to pre-tape RAW allows WWE talent and staff to spend the holiday season with their families. While not broadcast live, the episode will maintain its regular timeslot on USA Network, ensuring continuity for viewers during the festive period.

WWE’s live event schedule resumes on December 26 with the start of the WWE Live Holiday Tour. This timing positions the company for its anticipated debut on Netflix, marking a significant shift in RAW’s broadcasting history.

Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa set for historic Tribal Combat at RAW’s Netflix premiere

The stakes escalate within The Bloodline as the January 6 episode of RAW features Roman Reigns challenging Solo Sikoa for the Ula Fala in a Tribal Combat match.

Wrestling veteran Magnum T.A. offered insights about the potential outcome during his appearance on Straight Talk with The Boss:

Roman could regain the title and Jacob could appear creating so much tension after that it would be a done deal. They can’t control him when he completely loses it. Until now, it’s always been ‘Stop that! Don’t do that!’, you know, holding him back. If in people’s minds he became someone who lost control and won’t follow the rules, beating down about 15 people and leaving Roman lying in a pool, you know, then they could have some money there.
