6 Problems WWE Solved In The 2019 Draft

6. A New Lease Of (205) Life

There's a lot of uncertainty surrounding 205 Live at the moment.

While the show looks set to continue on its post-SmackDown taping schedule, the Wrestling Observer has noted that this is only a temporary measure until WWE figures out what they want to do with the Cruiserweight brand. The speculation is all over the place as a result. Could 205 be moved to Full Sail University when NXT inevitably departs for bigger buildings? Will it be filmed before SmackDown? Are WWE considering scrapping it entirely?

It's impossible to tell at the moment, but the limbo-like state meant it made sense for WWE to send some of the brand's best performers off to pastures new in the 2019 Draft. Thus, Akira Tozawa and Humberto Carrillo have both gone to Raw, while former Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak is now a SmackDown wrestler.

While being cynical about their futures is almost too easy, their new positions offer stability. Raw and SmackDown aren't going anywhere. Gulak, Tozawa, and Carrillo can at least attempt to look forward and the main roster's increased house show schedule guarantees bigger paydays, too.
