Raw and SmackDown will be live again each week starting with the August 21 SmackDown, according to PWInsider.

The past several weeks of shows have been pre-taped because of the pandemic.

On Thursday, August 13, WWE will tape the August 14 SmackDown and August 17 Raw. After that, the plan is for Raw and SmackDown to air live each week going forward.

There’s no word about NXT yet, but the August 12 and August 19 shows will be taped this Wednesday.
