WWE Shifts 1/2 SmackDown To KeyBank Center In Buffalo, Barclays Center To Now Host 1/5 Raw

WWE makes some changes to the schedule.
Earlier this month, WWE revealed a number of dates for both 2025 and early 2026. The schedule originally called for Barclays Center in Brooklyn to host the January 2 episode of WWE SmackDown. Furthermore, the KeyBank Center in Buffalo was set to host the January 5 episode of WWE Raw.
Now, those dates have flipped, as the KeyBank Center will now be the home for the first SmackDown of the new year. The first Raw of the year will be hosted at the Barclays Center.
DATE CHANGE: WWE Monday Night RAW, which was slated to take place on Jan 5, is now set to be Friday Night SmackDown on Jan 2.
