Almost since the show’s inception, people have been requesting 205 Live move to a different date. With Smackdown Live being two hours long and RAW the night prior clocking in at three hours, some fans are just too burned out to stay up to as late as 11 PM EST and watch the series. Fans requesting a date and time change are in luck: as of this Wednesday, 205 Live will officially air prior to the newest episode of NXT.

This change is one many have been hoping to see for some time. This, along with 205 Live being filmed in smaller and more intimate arenas has been by far what fans of the purple brand have requested most, so this definitely appears to be a step forward for the 205 Live brand and the Cruiserweights. Earlier in the year, Triple H noted that he intended to make 205 Live a touring brand similar to NXT with live events, specials, and more.

205 Live will air at 7 PM EST on Wednesday, and will be a part of a three hour block alongside NXT and for several more weeks, the Mae Young Classic. It’s unclear if this is temporary for the Mixed Match Challenge, but if the views remain similar or higher, chances are the change will remain. It’s also unclear if they do keep this change as to whether or not the brand will change it’s name to just WWE 205.

Editor’s Note: Just for clarity, I’ve seen reports that 205 Live will also be moving to tapings. Whether possibly true in the future or not, to be clear, we are not reporting that information and have no further information on that officially happening soon or not. Just that Triple H stated in a conference call that was a long term goal and that the WWE schedule lists 205 Live as officially airing on Wednesday.

So, what do you think? Are you excited to see WWE 205 Live officially move to Wednesdays to accompany NXT? Are you more likely to watch the program on a Wednesday than on Tuesday? Or do you watch the brand’s weekly program on demand and this doesn’t make a difference? Let us know all of your thoughts in the comment section below.
