Tonight’s WWE 205 Live on WWE Network at 10/9 C.
WWE has announced that the 2021 WWE NXT Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will continue on tonight’s 205 Live episode. Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart will face Marina Shafir and Zoey Stark (Lacey Ryan) in a first round match.
The first singles bout between Jake Atlas and August Grey.
This week’s WWE 205 Live episode will see the WWE NXT Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and the NXT Women’s Dusty Classic continue with first round matches.
The men’s tournament will continue this Friday night with the final first round match. Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari will face Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher. As noted, Thatcher and Ciampa are replacing Ashante “Thee” Adonis and Desmond Troy after Karrion Kross injured Adonis during their squash match on last night’s NXT show.
The second first round match in the women’s tournament will take place on 205 Live with The Way (Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell) vs. Gigi Dolin (Priscilla Kelly) and Cora Jade (Elayna Black). This will be the first time a women’s match has been held on 205 Live.

The new era of WWE 205 Live is officially underway, according to PWInsider.
The show debuted at the Capitol Wrestling Center last Friday and will continue to air from that facility, the former WWE Performance Center arena, each week. 205 Live episodes are now being taped on Wednesdays as a part of the weekly WWE NXT TV tapings.
Dewey Foley is still the head writer of the 205 Live brand, but the show is now officially, more than ever, under the NXT production umbrella. It was also noted that the NXT staff and creative team are now directing all aspects of the weekly cruiserweight series.
It will be interesting to see if WWE changes the look of the ring for tonight’s 205 Live episode on the WWE Network. Last week’s show, the first from the CWC, used the regular yellow ring ropes and turnbuckle pads with the NXT logo.

205 Live will also feature a No DQ match with The Brian Kendrick and Ariya Daivari vs. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch of NXT.
WWE 205 Live will be returning tonight and will take place from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. There had been some speculation regarding the future of the show after last week’s episode was cancelled at the last minute.
WWE 205 Live is scheduled to air live on the WWE Network this Friday at 10pm ET from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, according to F4Wonline.com. This will be right after SmackDown goes off the air on FOX.
As we’ve noted, the future of 205 Live remains up in the air following the SmackDown move from Tuesdays to Fridays. WWE ended up nixing last Tuesday’s new episode of 205 Live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, shortly after they had announced Tony Nese vs. Humberto Carrillo and Akira Tozawa vs. Brian Kendrick for the show. It was reported that a “late call” made at the arena led to the show being nixed. The show was to air as a new, live episode after the SmackDown FOX premiere ended. WWE aired a replay of the September 24 205 Live episode instead, at 9pm ET, and then a replay of the weekly WWE NXT episode at 10pm ET.
WWE has not aired a new 205 Live episode since September 24. It’s been reported that WWE officials have discussed several options for the show, including doing away with it altogether. Triple H recently made comments about 205 Live being ran under the NXT umbrella, and that was made clear last week when they re-branded the WWE Cruiserweight Title as the NXT Cruiserweight Title. Drew Gulak will defend that title against #1 contender Lio Rush on this Wednesday’s NXT USA Network episode. It was also recently revealed that the NXT creative team is now booking the cruiserweights and handling 205 Live.

Triple H recently talked about the WWE Cruiserweight division possibly blending in with NXT and having the Cruiserweight Championship move under the NXT brand. That change went into effect this week, as the WWE Cruiserweight Championship has been re-branded as the NXT Cruiserweight Championship on WWE.com.
Plus on last night’s NXT, they promoted a Crusierweight Championship for next week’s NXT between Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak and Lio Rush, by referring to the title at the NXT Cruiserweight Championship.
