A big change to WWE Raw after selected PLEs has been discussed behind the scenes that would see the show taped in advance.
The change, if approved, would affect the episodes of WWE Raw that come after an international PLE.
Currently, WWE runs international PLEs in Saudi Arabia and has run the last two instalments of Backlash away from the US and Canada.
WWE has also run the 2023 Money in the Bank in London, England with Bash in Berlin set to take place in Germany on August 31, 2024.
According to PW Nexus, the discussed plans would see WWE Raw ‘taped on a Sunday following an international PLE’.
The plan would allow ‘talent more time to recoup and recover’ whereas they currently could be in a position where they have to be back in the US for a live WWE Raw.
While the plan is under discussion, it isn’t cleared or approved at the time of writing, although WrestleTalk will keep readers up-to-date as details emerge.
