“We were at a point in time where they were going to cancel 205 Live and I stepped in and told Vince that I wanted to work with Neville so that he could get the opportunity to get back onto the main roster and stop carrying his workload.”

205 Live began in 2016 and has been moved around quite a bit, from airing after SmackDown to before NXT to its current time slot, which is after SmackDown on Fridays. William Regal is the current GM of the brand after Drake Maverick stepped down as the brand's GM.
