SMACKDOWN LIVE Actually Put RAW #UnderSiege Hours Before The Show Went On The Air

On last week's episode of RAW, the SmackDown Live Superstars poured into the backstage area and took down opponent after opponent in a violent beatdown which Shane McMahon named #UnderSiege. However, what you probably didn't realise was that the entire thing was actually filmed during the afternoon before RAW started airing and there's a very good reason why.

Apparently, WWE made the decision ahead of time and decided to shoot it earlier that day because they wanted it to look violent and needed to edit out certain moments as they didn't look enough like a legit fight. That makes sense and the whole thing did wind up being the best angles on RAW for quite some time so this decision paid off and none of us
were any of the wiser...until now! 

As for when RAW's Superstars will get some revenge, it's unlikely to be this week as the RAW and SmackDown Live rosters are in totally different towns in the UK when each respective show is filming. As a result, the only way another invasion angle could be done is if it's filmed earlier in the day. Chances are, though, it's not going to happen until the week before Survivor Series takes place.
