St★rstruck Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 WWE is making a change to their schedule on the WWE Network. WWE 24 is listed for the 10 pm timeslot on Tuesday night and 205 Live is moving to Wednesday night at 7 pm eastern before NXT TV. The move was made because the Mixed Match Challenge is returning and the show is being expanded to 30 minutes with 2 matches per show. It’s not clear yet what this means for the 205 Live taping schedule but fans are already burned out after sitting through dark matches and 2 hours of Smackdown Live. Fans have been calling for WWE to move 205 Live tapings either before Smackdown Live or on a different night at Full Sail University. One of the big issues with the show is the fans leaving the arena after Smackdown Live. On some weeks, the empty seats are visible and it’s become clear that changes are needed to freshen up the brand. It’s not clear yet if this is just a temporary move until season 2 wraps up for Mixed Match Challenge or if this is going to be a permanent move. WWE remains committed to 205 Live because the plan is to eventually turn it into a full-time touring brand, similar to NXT. Here is the updated Wednesday night schedule on the WWE Network: – 205 Live at 7:00 pm eastern – WWE NXT at 8:00 pm eastern – The Mae Young Classic at 9:00 pm eastern - Source: http://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/wwe-205-live-is-moving-to-a-new-night/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Really hope 205 ends up in Full Sail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 So its not live anymore or are they really gonna start booking arenas for 205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niffan Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 *censored*ing RIP me...all this plus Lucha Underground equals 4 hrs of wrestling for me on Wednesdays. And then you add Kurt Angle to the mix and your chances of winning at 'Sackerfice' go down drastically! Sound rough though! I think 205 Live needs the same crowd every week to be honest. The crowd usually look unengaged and bored during the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 205 won't do well on a day when fans are expected to actively seek it out. Even as someone who typically tries to watch all of the WWE shows, I'm guilty of missing a number of 205 episodes just because I forgot it was on...and that was when it immediately followed SD (and was actually live). RIP 205 Live...it was a fun ride while it lasted. I just hope all of those guys can find refuge on the main roster (but we all know they won't). WWE is a little kid with ADHD...they already forgot about the Cruiserweights and move onto Women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King RyderFan Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 So it airs right before NXT? This could be a very smart move, erpecially if 205 and NXT start interacting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 This is good news! I really hope they move tapings to before SmackDown. That might finally work in getting fans involved, rather than burnt out and leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJeds Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 They should either tape it before SmackDown, or tape it before NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 205 pre recorded Live, NXT and MYC. Wednesday has become a solid night for wrasslin fans. It's time for a change in that brand, they can't keep doing it after Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
