WWE officially announced that 205 Live will be moving to Fridays at 10 PM ET on the WWE Network starting this week.
So for now, the show will continue to take place live after SmackDown.
It’s still not clear how long this move will last. As of last week, the move to Fridays was said to be temporary until WWE figured out what to do with the show, Dave Meltzer reported. There were several ideas being considered, including eliminating the show completely, and/or folding it into the NXT brand.
