WWE’s festive schedule is taking shape, with a combined Raw and SmackDown event confirmed for Washington, D.C. ahead of Christmas.
Capital One Arena will host both brands on Monday, 21 December. Raw is expected to air live on Netflix that evening, while the Christmas Day edition of SmackDown will likely be recorded at the same event. The exact taping arrangements have not yet been confirmed.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, 6 November.
Advertising for the Raw side features Seth Rollins, Oba Femi, Liv Morgan, Sol Ruca, Penta and The Usos. Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Trick Williams and Gunther appear on the SmackDown side.
Another combined Raw and SmackDown event is scheduled for Monday, 28 December in Tampa, Florida. That show is expected to include the taping of SmackDown’s New Year’s Day episode, with both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day falling on Fridays.
WWE will also resume its Holiday Tour on 26 December after taking Christmas Day off. Two house shows are scheduled each day from 26 to 30 December, apart from 28 December, when the combined television event takes place.
The tour includes the return of WWE’s traditional post-Christmas house show at Madison Square Garden. The event did not take place in 2025, when the venue hosted an episode of Raw in November instead.
