WWE 205 Live Officially Moves To Friday Nights
WWE's cruiserweights are following SmackDown's lead and heading to Fridays.
After online scuttlebutt had recently suggested that WWE’s 205 Live show could well be moving from Tuesday nights to Fridays, WWE has now moved to confirm that, yes, this is indeed the case.
Beginning this Friday, 205 Live will air directly after SmackDown goes off the air at 10pm ET. While SmackDown will air on FOX, 205 Live will still remain on the WWE Network.
This week’s episode of 205 Live will emanate from Los Angeles’ famed Staples Center, although no matches have been officially announced for this Friday’s offering.
At present, Lio Rush is the #1 contender for Drew Gulak’s WWE Cruiserweight Championship, but there’s currently nothing concrete on when that Rush vs. Gulak match will take place. One school of thinking is that the title match could actually happen on Wednesday’s NXT broadcast – which is going head-to-head against the TNT premiere of AEW Dynamite.
The full press release on 205 Live’s move can be found below.
