The current plan is to film three episodes of SmackDown, three episodes of RAW, and a few episodes of WWE NXT. They will start the taping on Friday and film throughout the following Thursday.

It is reported that there is still a consideration to run live episodes during that time as well. Nothing is a guarantee because you never know how bad this pandemic can get overnight. WWE is currently planning to get about a month’s worth of television nailed down within the next week.
