Production/presentation [edit]
The show is taped on Tuesday evenings, prior to the SmackDown taping. Lead WWE commentator Michael Cole and The Miz are the broadcast team, and Tony Chimel is the ring announcer. It uses the same HD set and the all-white ring ropes as all other WWE programming (though for the month of October 2012, the middle rope was pink, to promote WWE and Susan G. Komen for the Cure's breast cancer awareness campaign).
