WWE SmackDown Spoilers for December 26 Taped in Hershey, PA – WWE taped the December 26 episode of SmackDown on Monday night, December 15, 2025, prior to the live broadcast of WWE RAW. The taping took place at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, creating an unusual scheduling situation in which the December 26 SmackDown episode was completed before the December 19 SmackDown even aired live. This early taping allowed WWE to get ahead of the holiday schedule, while also setting up multiple storylines heading into the final week of the year.
The episode featured a mix of storyline-heavy segments, title-related matches, and faction chaos, with several angles clearly designed to carry momentum into early 2026. The show opened with a major confrontation involving Damian Priest and Aleister Black that immediately set an intense tone for the night. Priest attempted to address the audience but was quickly derailed, leading to a violent sequence that escalated backstage and featured weapon use, signaling that this rivalry is far from over.
The women’s division was also a focal point of the taping, with multiple high-profile names involved in both matches and post-match confrontations. A non-title bout saw the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions suffer a setback, followed by a tense face-to-face involving returning and established stars. Another women’s match carried championship implications, as a contender earned future title opportunities with a decisive victory.
Tag team action played a significant role throughout the show, including a championship-related main event that descended into chaos. Several factions became involved, resulting in a wild brawl that spilled in and out of the ring and ended without a clear winner. The visual of multiple teams fighting simultaneously closed the taping on a heated note.
