WWE talent and staff members will be getting some much deserved time off for the holidays, but that requires filming enough content for next week's episodes of Raw, NXT and SmackDown ahead of time.

Members of the SmackDown roster were at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Monday, the site this week's WWE Raw, and fans in attendance were treated to several matches for an upcoming episode of the Blue Brand.

It's hard to be specific about when these SmackDown matches and segments will air, because there's some confusion on that front.

WWE will be in Grand Rapids, Michigan this Friday, but there are reportedly some within the company who are under the impression that they will be filming the December 22 edition of Raw and the December 26 episode of SmackDown at that time, and airing what was recorded yesterday on December 19.

Regardless of when they are broadcasted, the following SPOILERS were provided by BodySlam and are limited in scope.
