WWE notes: Talking Smack, 205 Live matches


– With SmackDown making a one-week shift to FS1 tonight, there will be a special edition of Talking Smack airing immediately after the show.
A one-hour edition of Talking Smack will air on FS1 after SmackDown at 10 p.m. Eastern time tonight. Fox Sports has announced that Booker T will join Kayla Braxton and Paul Heyman to host tonight’s Talking Smack.
It’s also been announced that tonight’s Talking Smack will feature Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer interviewing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Fox Sports’ Charlotte Wilder interviewing Sasha Banks. The Rock appeared on Glazer’s One Glass With Glazer on Instagram Live three weeks ago and Fox Sports uploaded an interview with Wilder and Banks earlier this month.
Talking Smack made its return this August and usually premieres on the WWE Network on Saturday mornings. A special edition of Talking Smack also aired on FS1 this October when SmackDown made a one-week move to FS1 due to a World Series game airing on Fox.
SmackDown is airing on FS1 tonight due to college football’s Pac-12 Championship Game being on Fox. After Talking Smack, a replay of tonight’s SmackDown will air on FS1 at 11 p.m. Eastern.
– 205 Live is airing on the WWE Network at 10 p.m. Eastern tonight. WWE has announced two matches for the show: Jake Atlas vs. Tony Nese and Ever-Rise (Chase Parker & Matt Martel) vs. The Bollywood Boyz (Sunil & Samir Singh).
Atlas defeated Nese on NXT two weeks ago. Ever-Rise vs. The Bollywood Boyz is being promoted as the rubber match between the teams due to them each having one victory over the other in recent weeks.
