205 Live may be canceled by the end of the year

WWE has five brands right now, but they might be eliminating their Cruiserweight brand.

205 Live has a roster full of incredibly talented and passionate Superstars, but they have not had the best luck at all when it comes to ratings.

Brad Shepard reports that “I’m told 205 Live will likely be discontinued before the end of the year.”

While this isn’t 100% confirmed yet, it does sadly make sense. 205 Live has been struggling to attain an audience for a while now and they are sometimes out of the weekly top ten most-watched WWE Network programs which shouldn’t be that way for a live show.

We will have to wait and see what happens, but it seems like 205 Live might need to step it up a notch.

Nobody wants a straight wrestling show
People want fukkery

What did they expect?

All the top guys either quit, got released, or were moved to Raw, Smackdown or NXT UK.

 

[Metal Face]

Give the fukking 8PM timeslot to the Cruiser-weights on RAW

shyt prolly wont draw but at least the 2 hour raw format would technically be back

Just film at at Full Sail

NXT does well

But then again NXT does have characters

 

[The Rainmaker]

I'm surprised it has lasted this long, tbh

ran off Neville, Aries, Itami and many others putting them behind a paywall.

It was only a matter of time. They were never going to be successful that way.

Re-integrate them and the championship on the main roster. Way too much eligible talent not to.

Buddy ain't on TV, and Cedric is running behind R-Truth every week.

I guess with Heyman having Raw he can find a way to integrate them and the cruiserweight title to create interest

No they do Main Event before Raw starts.
