Mania would put them in an interesting position going forward. Last year Friday Night held the Hall of Fame Ceremony. Saturday Night was NXT, Sunday Mania, Monday Raw and Tuesday Smackdown. They could now do it the following way: Thursday before Mania: WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony Friday before Mania: Final Smackdown before Mania Saturday: NXT Takeover Sunday: WrestleMania Monday: RAW Tuesday: Post Mania International NXT Tapings & 205 Event I've found that not a lot of people stick around for Tuesday afterwards. There are big sections of the arena tarped off each time. Same with HOF, the audience didn't seem too engaged, and unless there is a stacked class, I don't know if it's necessary for WM weekend, although it's tradition and people have strong opinions about it. An NXT/205 Live taping I don't see being as successful, as the opportunity cost for most would outweigh the benefits to extend an extra day and foregoing returning to work/school/etc. Understandable, I was only throwing out a possible scenario and while six straight days of wrestling events would be a lot to take in sadly I could see the WWE doing something like it. It'll all depend on if they keep that final Smackdown before Mania live or not, also doing things this way could also prevent them from having matches at Fan Axxess, or they could use those matches to fill in the post Mania NXT UK/International Tapings and 205 shows.

They could now do it the following way: Thursday before Mania: WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony Friday before Mania: Final Smackdown before Mania Saturday: NXT Takeover Sunday: WrestleMania Monday: RAW Tuesday: Post Mania International NXT Tapings & 205 Event I wonder how they used to do it? It wasn't always taped. I think Thursday nights were live. Also, I imagine the Travel Packages will be going up more than normal because of it. A 3 day last year involved only HOF, NXT and Mania. HOF tickets do not retail as high as Raw or SDL tickets, so if it went SDL, NXT, Mania, the SDL tickets would increase. Perhaps they do away with the 3 day? For the vast majority of its life Smackdown was a taped show with few exceptions until the move to Tuesday Nights. The WWE Travel Schedule was Friday-Tuesday with Wednesday and Thursdays off. Then the first Brand Extension saw the Raw crew on the Road from Thursday to Monday and the Smackdown crew still on the Friday-Tuesday schedule where they would do a Live Event Monday Nights. I believe the current Brand Extension is still following that schedule.
