| A live episode paying tribute to those impacted by the [[September 11 attacks]] two days prior. A regularly-scheduled taping for that week's episode was to occur on September 11, but was cancelled due to the attacks. WWF staff, including [[Vince McMahon]], elected to go on with the episode as a live broadcast instead, which would feature exhibition matches with no effect on storylines. McMahon emphasized that the event was the first major public gathering of its kind since the attacks (as all domestic sports leagues had [[List of entertainment affected by the September 11 attacks#Sports|cancelled or postponed events]] in their immediate aftermath).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/inside/first-smackdown-after-9-11-oral-history|title=The oral history of the first SmackDown after 9/11|website=WWE|language=en|access-date=2019-09-30}}</ref>

| A live episode paying tribute to those impacted by the [[September 11 attacks]] two days prior. A regularly-scheduled taping for that week's episode was to occur on September 11, but was cancelled due to the attacks. WWF staff, including [[Vince McMahon]], elected to go on with the episode as a live broadcast instead, which would feature exhibition matches with no effect on storylines. McMahon emphasized that the event was the first major public gathering of its kind since the attacks (as all domestic sports leagues had [[List of entertainment affected by the September 11 attacks#Sports|cancelled or postponed events]] in their immediate aftermath).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/inside/first-smackdown-after-9-11-oral-history|title=The oral history of the first SmackDown after 9/11|website=WWE|language=en|access-date=2019-09-30}}</ref>

|Due to air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption,
most of the Raw roster remained in Europe after a European tour.
As a result, the SmackDown brand was featured in for the week's ''WWE Raw'' program.
Will Forte, Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe featured as Guest hosts.
