SmackDown and Raw will be taped on the same day next Friday, November 8 from the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
The taping is set for a 1 PM ET start time, so SmackDown will not air live next Friday. Raw will presumably be taped after the SmackDown taping and will air the following Monday, November 11.
After the ordeal in Saudi Arabia, WWE wrestlers will be traveling for a week-long tour of Europe starting this Thursday.
