Notably, this Monday’s episode was not broadcast live. It was pre-taped this past Friday (August 28) at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, as WWE held a double taping of Raw and SmackDown following last week’s show in Ottawa. With SNME on the horizon, here is a detailed lineup for tonight’s show.
