WWE’s ”Monday Night Raw,” which was scheduled to go live to the world from Dickies Arena on March 23, has been rescheduled for July 31.

If you check your calendar, you’ll notice that’s a Friday. So you’ll be seeing ”Friday Night SmackDown.”

All original tickets will be honored.

Meanwhile, Monday’s “Raw” show will air live as regularly scheduled on USA Network but be broadcast from WWE’s training facility in Orlando with essential personnel in attendance only, according to a release.

The show has been forced to go without an audience as the coronavirus pandemic forced cancellations and suspensions of sporting events and concerts all around the country.
