WWE will pre-tape the July 3 episode of WWE SmackDown as part of a newly announced run of summer television dates.
The company confirmed that Atlantic City, New Jersey, will host a combined Raw and SmackDown taping on Monday, June 29, at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall. That night’s episode of WWE Raw will air live, while the SmackDown episode taped at the event will later broadcast in its normal Friday night slot on July 3 during Fourth of July weekend.
The show will mark the first televised WWE event held in Atlantic City since 2008. WWE is partnering with Visit Atlantic City, the Atlantic City Sports Commission, and Oak View Group for the event.
The Atlantic City taping will also be the second advance SmackDown recording announced for late June. WWE previously revealed that London’s The O2 Arena will host a SmackDown taping on Tuesday, June 23, with that episode scheduled to air on June 26 as the final show before WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
