Just a few days earlier, WWE had officially announced that an exclusive 205 Live tour would take place in January. This will be similar house shows that are generally hosted comprising of the Raw, Smackdown Live and NXT Superstars.
From now onwards, the superstars from the Cruiserweight division are also likely to get their house shows.
At this time, the company also added two of the main roster superstars from WWE Raw to the live events to increase the ticket sales of those live events. Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt are those two names who are now being advertised to sell out the evenings announced.
However, the main events are expected to be featuring the superstars from the 205 Live show since it’s an exclusive event to the lightweights.
Check out the official announcement from WWE’s official website:
“The war between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt reaches new heights, as these two bitter rivals will do battle during the WWE 205 Live Tour! Don’t miss the chance to see epic confrontations between The Woken Superstar and The Eater of Worlds, as well as all the action-packed excitement of the WWE Cruiserweight division, Enzo Amore, Kalisto, Gentleman Jack Gallagher, Hideo Itami and more.”
It is also to be noted the new addition to the NXT roster, Hideo Itami from the NXT roster will also get involved in the show. He is being advertised, as one of the prime superstars on the shows which means a huge push is reserved for him just after debuting.
But with Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt competing in these shows, the audience has now found the best reason to watch these. The schedule provided for the shows are as follows:
Friday, Jan. 19, 2018 – Kingston, RI – The Ryan Center
Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 – Lowell, MA – Lowell Auditorium
Sunday, Jan. 21, 2018 – Poughkeepsie, NY – Mid Hudson Civic Center
Apart from these two Raw superstars, Nia Jax has also been announced to work as a special guest referee in a Cruiserweight Championship match. It means three superstars from Monday Night Raw will get utilised in the Cruiserweight-exclusive show. It indicates the officials are trying hard to make this tour a success to push the brand.`
