WWE 205 Live To Air From The WWE NXT Arena This Week, NXT UK Superstars Nixed From The Show?

WWE has announced that this week's WWE 205 Live episode will air live from Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida.

It's interesting to note that they are now billing the Full Sail Live venue as the WWE NXT Arena at Full Sail University.

It was previously announced that this week's 205 Live episode would feature NXT UK Superstars as the show would be taping from Manchester, England, but apparently those plans were nixed. WWE is still scheduled to tape RAW and SmackDown from the Manchester Arena in Manchester on Friday.

There's no word yet on plans for this week's 205 Live but it looks like the NXT UK Superstars will not be on the show. WWE is teasing that we may see a new challenger for NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush.

Below is the full announcement for this week's 205 Live episode, which will still air at 10pm ET on the WWE Network after the taped UK SmackDown goes off the air:
