- As reported yesterday, WWE will be launching a new weekly show dedicated to their Cruiserweights called "205 Live". The show will be shot immediately after Smackdown and air live on Tuesdays at 10pm on the WWE Network. What this means is that the Cruiserweights will continue to work Monday nights on Raw where they would also shoot angles for the Tuesday show. Additionally, they would also work on the NXT weekend tours.
- The new schedule is already causing people backstage to complain as they have to stay at the arena an extra hour. The other issue is that because the show will be shot after Smackdown, there is a big risk of fans leaving after Smackdown or having somewhat of a dead and tired audience for those that choose to stay. It's entirely possible that there will be a change in the future where "205 Live" will end up being shot before Smackdown and then aired on tape delay on the network later on in the night.
