10 Biggest Problems Facing WWE Creative At The Moment

10. Creating Buzz For 205 Live

While last year’s Cruiserweight Classic tournament was a huge critical success, the revived division has struggled to sustain fans’ attention since becoming part of the main roster. Airing immediately after SmackDown, 205 Live never retains the blue brand’s full audience, and there have been several reports of disappointing WWE Network viewing figures since the show’s inception.

People just aren’t invested in 205 Live, despite the shows continuous leaps in quality throughout 2017. This is a huge shame, as wrestlers like Austin Aries and Akira Tozawa are shining in their respective spotlights, while Neville has become one of WWE’s most consistently excellent performers since joining the division. Fans aren’t buying into it, however, and the Cruiserweights spend much of the show performing to silent audiences.

Creative have a huge task in their hands to save 205, and increase the brand’s wider appeal. Recent reports suggest they’re looking to implement more women from the main roster to spike intrigue levels after Sasha Banks’ recent spell teaming with Rich Swann against Noam Dar and Alicia Fox. A small step, but one that should go some way to relieving a larger problem.
