That’s new. There have been all kinds of changes to WWE under the company’s new ownership but we are still waiting to see how some of them shake out. We are seeing some of these changes taking place week by week, with several of them involving positive changes for the roster. That seems to be what is taking place again, as the wrestlers are getting a break.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is planning to tape the November 29 SmackDown in advance, following this week’s regular show. This is said to be so that the roster does not have to fly out for the show on November 29, which is the day after Thanksgiving. Previously WWE had regularly had its wrestlers fly out for the post-Thanksgiving show either Thursday night or Friday morning. The change is being made to allow the fans some extra time off with their families.

It’s going well at the moment. Check out what has been happening on SmackDown:

Opinion: It’s nice to see what WWE is trying to do here as we are getting to see the company actually taking a bit of a break every so often. There is no reason to have the wrestlers flying out so soon after a holiday when there is a way to give them something of a break. Hopefully WWE gets to do something more like this a bit more often, as it definitely seems to have some perks.
