New Network Cruiserweight Show '205 Live' Announced

Isn't this dying a death on RAW? It bothers the OCD in the sense that the brand split is already eroding. But I get that they want content for the Network. Going live is going to be expensive though, isn't it? Part of SmackDown's appeal is that it's two hours. Now you've got SmackDown, 205 Live and Talking Smack. It's going to be an even bigger commitment than RAW.

I would have kept things at just the CWC. Make it an annual thing and try to launch one star with every year. TJ Perkins would be fine mixing it up with Dolph Ziggler and The Miz in the IC Title scene on SmackDown, or being an underdog babyface to work with Sheamus on RAW.
