The July 4 episode of Friday Night Smackdown will not be live and instead will be taped on Monday, June 30 immediately following the conclusion of Raw.
The shows will be held at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and it was the arena which announced the news.
“Breaking News: Our previously scheduled WWE Monday Night Raw will now include Friday Night SmackDown on June 30th right here in Pittsburgh! TWO SHOWS, ONE NIGHT! Get your tickets now,” the post on X read.
Tickets for this show are available on Ticketmaster.com starting from $74 with fees before taxes. It is far from being sold out but the double taping should help with the additional appearances of other WWE Superstars.
There was not a separate event for the Independence Day episode of Smackdown prior to this announcement. With July 4 being a big holiday in the United States, it made sense to move this to a few days prior.
