WWE no longer airing new episode of 205 Live tonight
A new episode of 205 Live won’t be airing on the WWE Network tonight after all.
Post Wrestling’s John Pollock reported that a call was made to air a repeat episode of 205 Live tonight: “I’ve been told by multiple people that a call was made to air a repeat of 205 Live tonight instead of taping a new show after Smackdown in Los Angeles. They had previously announced two matches for 205 Live and it was described to me as a ‘late call’.”
WWE had announced that 205 Live would be moving to airing live on the WWE Network at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Fridays starting this week. Earlier today, Tony Nese vs. Humberto Carrillo and Akira Tozawa vs. Brian Kendrick had been announced for the episode that was supposed to take place tonight.
WWE.com has removed the preview for this week’s 205 Live and the announcements of Nese vs. Carrillo and Tozawa vs. Kendrick. The WWE Network schedule also no longer lists a new 205 Live episode for tonight. Last week’s 205 Live will air at 9 p.m. Eastern, with the NXT episode from this Wednesday airing at 10 p.m. Eastern.
