Over the past few months, WWE has been taping two weeks of SmackDown shows every Tuesday, but plans changed yesterday. According to Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp, only one edition of that and 205 Live were filmed last night, a big change which SportsKeeda's Gary Cassidy has gone some way in explaining.

As you can see below, it's likely because of how late the disastrous RAW tapings went on Monday night as WWE worked late into the night working on more "RAW Underground" fight segments. 

Sapp also claims that, "both Danny Burch and Killian Dain were set for the tapings, in conjunction with a storyline with Baron Corbin." They were likely to be shown trying to cash in on that ransom Corbin has put on Matt Riddle, but he adds that things could have changed with these delays. 

It's going to be interesting seeing what becomes of SmackDown if this is accurate, because that episode of RAW...well, many are hailing it as one of the worst shows WWE has ever produced.
