— WWE’s plans for the final shows of 2012 will be revealed as we reported late last night here on the website. Since New Year’s Eve, December 31, is on a Monday, WWE will tape RAW on Saturday, December 29 from Washington, DC. There were rumors that they would do a “Best Of” show but this is not the case.
The January 2nd episode of Main Event and the January 4 episode of SmackDown will be taped on Sunday, December 30 from Richmond, Virginia. The RAW that airs on Christmas Eve will be taped on Tuesday, December 18 from Pittsburgh, PA.
WWE will then have a double SmackDown taping on December 19 with those shows airing on Friday December 21 and Friday December 28.
