WWE has reportedly scrapped 205 Live after replacing it with Level Up. 205 Live was a weekly show featuring the cruiserweight division that debuted in 2016 under Triple H's management. The show has delivered great matches over the past six years.
Due to a lack of star power, WWE treated 205 Live as the D-Show. In addition to this, several budget cuts during Summer 2021 further narrowed the roster.
WWE recently has been trying to rebuild their NXT brand, where they try to build new stars within the company. In terms of extending their efforts, the company has introduced the brand new show and therefore got rid of 205 Live.
