June 29 episode of Raw to air live at 6PM ET instead of 8PM

PWInsider.com is reporting that the June 29 episode of Raw will air live on Netflix at 6PM ET instead of the usual 8PM ET start time.

That is due to WWE also taping an episode of Smackdown immediately after the show, an episode which will air on Friday, July 3 on the eve of Independence Day.

The Smackdown on the eve of Night of Champions will be taped a few days earlier as well, on June 23 from London’s O2 Arena. It is unlikely that this airs live on Smackdown on the day of for international viewers. This will limit WWE’s time on the ground in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia due to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

The June 29 episode of Raw and subsequent Smackdown tapings will be held at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the home of WrestleMania IV and V.
