All of the touts/tweets etc. will be taken Tuesday/Wednesday and will be added in during editing. So it'll be live in the sense that they are actual touts and tweets, but won't be tweets/touts made on Friday during the show.
If you ask me, it's a stupid idea. Why do social media for a taped event? Everyone can read the results and it's not a surprise.
Not many people actually read the results of Smackdown man. What % of the fanbase do you think reads Smackdown spoilers at all, much less on a weekly basis?
It's a lot lower than you probably think. It's probably something like 5% which is probably still high (that'd be about a quarter million current WWE viewers). Most just don't watch Smackdown because it's boring and nothing too great usually happens between anyone of note.

I don't think Smackdown is boring at all. I enjoy SD more then Raw. I don't want to see Punk and Cena talk for an hour and they show replays over another 30 mins. We fight on friday nights.
Somebody has to be a bastard. Might as well be me.
