Speculation on WWE Cutting Back 205 Live

WWE send out an email that mentioned Talking Smack would be starting at 10:30 PM. Historically the show has been kicking off right before 11PM because of 205 Live.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that they were informed that there is nothing to this change and they just started listing it at 10:30PM because 205 Live has never been scheduled for one hour.

Dave Meltzer wrote, “WWE officials said that nothing is changing and they just listed 10:30 p.m. because 205 Live has never been scheduled for one hour and so 10:30 p.m. would be the time meaning a time slot prior to the 11 p.m. time slot.”
