205 Live premieres Nov. 29 on WWE Network


STAMFORD, Conn. — A one-hour, in-ring program called 205 Live, showcasing WWE’s new Cruiserweight division, will premiere Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 10 p.m. ET, exclusively on WWE Network. The live weekly show will be called by Mauro Ranallo, the voice of SmackDown LIVE, and Corey Graves, color commentator for Monday Night Raw.

Coming off the success of WWE Network’s recent Cruiserweight Classic tournament and the formation of the new Cruiserweight division, which airs exclusively on Monday Night Raw, 205 Live will feature Superstars that are 205 pounds and under, including: new WWE Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick, as well as TJ Perkins, Rich Swann, Noam Dar, HoHo Lun, Cedric Alexander, Lince Dorado, Gran Metallik, Tozawa, Jack Gallagher, Gurv Sihra and Harv Sihra.

“205 Live is a natural progression to showcase the depth of our roster,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative. “With world-class talent such as Brian Kendrick, TJ Perkins, and Rich Swann, 205 Live will be a must-see program on WWE Network.”

“With the addition of 205 Live to an already robust programming schedule, WWE continues to enhance the value of WWE Network for our subscribers,” said Michelle Wilson, WWE Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer. “We take pride in listening to our fans and delivering even more live, premium content that they are asking for.”

this will bring in the casual viewer

Mauro and Corey is their best available commentator combo

 

[Jmare007]

Nothing wrong with more content. I just hope they don't overwork these guys. If this is a "Superstars" type of replacement, it's fine.

 

[Alexander The Great]

cruiser weights version of total bellas?

 

[Lord Scion]

Wait.... what's gonna happen to Talkin Smack?!

 

[Superkick Party]

Ah so they admit they don't know how to book them on RAW

 

[El Guapo]

Wait.... what's gonna happen to Talkin Smack?!

That turncoat Renee was wearing red last night for a reason....
Or D-Bry couldn't handle all the ether coming his way

But forreal, don't take away my Talking Smack

 

[Kang Deezy]

Wonder where these shows will be taped

I can see the cruiserweights being transitioned off raw and doing this show and nxt

 

[jadillac]

this is stupid.

Not the show, but th time slot.

People just watched RAW on monday for 3 hrs, SD for 2 hrs Tuesday, then you put this on afterwards?

Maybe put it on as a lead in to NXT or after NXT....or just put it on Thursdays

 

[BodeineBrazy]

More Nilla Midget Action

 

[James Dean]

Sounds to me they are gonna slowly transition the failed RAW version of the division into its own brand/show.

That would make a lot more sense. They really have no clue what they're doing over there.

I think they'll keep them on Raw but just spend more time building people up on the hour long show.

That way we won't get pointless 6 man tag matches.

NXT has shown that guys can get over from just the network. These cruisers need more airtime and build for their characters

 

[Mike the Executioner]

They should have gotten their own show in the first place.
