This week's episode of WWE SmackDown (airing July 4, 2025) will still broadcast at its regularly scheduled 8 p.m. ET on the USA Network time slot, but it is actually being recorded in advance following Monday Night Raw on June 30, 2025 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This set of tapings is partially to allow for the cast and crew to have Independence Day off, meaning we get to know SPOILERS ahead of time of what will air before the broadcast even begins.
This post will be updated throughout the night to reflect new information about these spoilers, so if you don't wish to know what is on the show, this is your last warning!
