However, this alleged Facebook LIVE show is rumoured to have a severe impact on 205 LIVE.
In case you didn’t know…
The WWE recently filed for a trademark for the ‘WWE Mixed Match Challenge’ which hints at a possible match stipulation, tournament or show.
The ‘mixed’ part also suggests that there could be a cool intergender spin to it. However, all of this is just speculation at this point.
The heart of the matter
Whilst the announcement of a new WWE show exclusive to Facebook LIVE is an exciting thing, it seems that it will come at a cost. Pro Wrestling Sheet has reported that this new show will take place in the usual 205 LIVE spot after SmackDown LIVE, meaning that 205 LIVE might become, well, just 205.
What’s next?
All of this is pure speculation until the WWE officially announced the new show when it will air on Facebook LIVE and what will happen to 205 LIVE, but I can’t help but feel that the loss of the LIVE part of 205 will be a major blow to the Cruiserweight division.
Author’s take
That being said, there’s a possibility that the pre-recorded aspect of filming 205 LIVE before SmackDown LIVE will actually benefit the show and the Superstars as they might be able to do riskier spots safe in the knowledge they can try again if it doesn’t come off well on camera the first time.
