PWInsider reports that the plan is to begin airing LIVE WWE programming on August 21st. This will be an episode of Friday Night SmackDown on Fox. The post-SummerSlam Raw on the USA Network will be live as well.
It is reported that WWE will tape WWE NXT on Wednesday August 12th and that will cover two week’s worth of episodes for the 12th and the 19th.
