Okay, so I wanted to know if this week’s Smackdown was gonna be a rerun or not. I’m kinda behind on my wrestling, and I didn’t wanna waste time watching something I’d already seen, you know?

So, I did what anyone would do – I hit up the internet. Typed in “is smackdown taped this week” and started looking. Didn’t take long to find my answer, thankfully.
Digging Around For Clues
First few things I saw were all about some European tour WWE was doing. Seems they wrapped that up already, which was a good sign. Meant the wrestlers were probably back in the States.
Kept reading, and boom! Found this one thing that just straight up said, “No, it’s not taped.”
It went on to say tonight’s, meaning Friday, July,12, SmackDown would happen at the Colonial Life Arena, and It would be Live!.
Putting it All Together
- Checked the tour schedule: Europe tour was done. Good.
- Looked for news about the show: Found a result saying Smackdown wasn’t taped.
- Confirmed the location and date: Yep, it’s live, tonight, July 12th, from Colonial Life Arena.
So, there you have it. Mystery solved. No taped Smackdown this week. Looks like I got some live wrestling to watch!
