205 Live Safe On The WWE Network
WWE is gearing up for the second annual UK Championship tournament, which has led to some speculation about the state of the 205 Live show. Some fans have been wondering if the UK series will replace 205 Live on the WWE Network, but that’s not the case.
Triple H recently stated that viewership for 205 Live has actually been up lately. The show has been stabilized after a rocky time surrounding Enzo Amore’s departure. Following the introduction of Drake Maverick as 205 Live GM and an overhauled approach to the show’s presentation, the show is in better shape than it has been and will continue for the foreseeable future.
AJ Lee Not Returning To WWE Any Time Soon
There was also a rumor on if the Second-Longest Divas Champion, AJ Lee were to return back to the WWE due to the new Fox television deal. Mike Johnson of PWInsdier recently addressed her status:
“They aren’t going to plan that far out in advance. It’s just not how this business works. AJ Lee mentioned in her book that she chose to get out of the ring due to physical issues. It was not an issue with CM Punk and WWE although she probably felt like the child in the middle of a divorce at that point. She was already planning the next stage of her life, beyond professional wrestling. I don’t see her ever coming back.”
