What is the schedule & lineups for 12/25 WWE RAW?
The next Monday Night RAW episode is set to air on December 25 on the USA network. As announced earlier the episode will not be a live show, instead it will be a combination of multiple moments happened in RAW in the following year. As per the reports the show will feature the matches that received highest rating. It is also rumored that WWE is planning to include a dedicated segment for CM Punk’s return in the WWE.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said, “There will be no new Raw or Smackdown next week. The 12/25 and 12/29 shows respectively will be best of shows. It’s funny because WWE is on tour on 12/29 and obviously a TV taping would draw better in one of those markets and do much higher rating.”
Along with RAW, Friday, Dec. 29 episode of SmackDown will also be pre-taped, though it is unclear when and where. NXT talent and crew will also benefit from the same break. Many fans and wrestlers have praised WWE and Triple H for giving their employees some extra time off for the holidays, especially after a challenging year due to the pandemic.
