News On Tonight’s WWE SmackDown & ECW Tapings

[Black Widow]

World Wrestling Entertainment will be taping this week’s edition of WWE SmackDown and ECW on Sci Fi tonight from the Giant Center in Hershey, Pa.

Thus far, nothing has been confirmed for this week’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, however expect the build up for this year’s WWE SummerSlam PPV. The SmackDown preview teases the return of The Undertaker at SummerSlam, more on the storyline between Edge and Vickie, Triple H’s and The Great Khali’s feud as well as mentioning Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder being the new WWE Tag Team Champions.

No matches have been announced for tonight’s ECW on Sci Fi, however WWE did advertise the Mark Henry’s and Matt Hardy’s feud for tonight’s ECW on last night’s Raw. Also expect the fallout from Raw and the possibility of a new ECW commentator. The ECW preview mentions more on Colin Deaney’s and Tommy Dreamer’s feud as well as ECW’s newcomer Evan Bourne.

idk why WWE is on this trend of not announcing anything for the TV shows, and not even hyping any of the main events. Last night on RAW for instance, they definitely should have made it a big deal beforehand that it would be the last installment of The Highlight Reel. It's been a RAW staple for several years. Seems like it deserved at least some recognition. Also, the main event tag match should have been advertised since last week.

It's the same thing with ECW and Smackdown. It's almost as if the booking is done right before they do the shows or something. Nothing is hyped or advertised anymore. It would definitely help ratings-wise if big events were advertised.

I agree for Smackdown and Raw, but not ECW. ECW would still suck as bad as it does.
