11/03/2025

WWE has swapped the locations of the first two television broadcasts of 2026, both of which are taking place in the state of New York.

The January 2 Smackdown is now set from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo while the January 5 Raw will happen from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Originally, Smackdown was in Brooklyn and Raw was in Buffalo.

It remains unknown why the dates were swapped.

Tickets for both events are on sale now, with Smackdown starting from $117.60 and Raw from $119. Both are not selling particularly well and thousands of seats are available.
