WWE Changes TV Taping Schedule

WWE is currently taping 2 episodes of Smackdown on the same night, as well as taping ECW after Raw. This schedule is epected to last until around Wrestlemania, then it will be evaluated to see if it is working. This schedule takes 2 road days per month out of the equation. By doing it this way, WWE is saving roughly $700,000 per show in production costs.
