WWE SmackDown is among the three live shows the Stamford-based promotion hosts every week. However, some changes were made to the upcoming edition of the program due to Crown Jewel 2024. Although this week's Monday Night RAW and NXT episodes were live, the upcoming installment of the Friday show was taped last week.
The November 1, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown was taped in preparation for Crown Jewel, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on November 2, 2024. This meant that after last week's show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, fans in attendance also got a chance to see another edition of the program.
WWE SmackDown stars like Cody Rhodes, Nia Jax, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, LA Knight, Andrade, Carmelo Hayes, Roman Reigns, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and more are set to be in action at the upcoming premium live event in Saudi Arabia.
