We have some news to pass your way about two shows that could be coming back to the WWE Network soon.
According to a report from WWE Network News, ‘RAW Talk’ is being listed on the WWE Network schedule for after RAW tonight (at 11 PM EST).
The site also says that they have heard rumblings about WWE bringing back ‘Talking Smack’ as well. Here is what an excerpt from the report:
RAW Talk is currently listed on the WWE Network schedule for a premiere at 11 PM EST following RAW on USA. There is no preview for it as of yet, and there is a chance this is changed later in the day, but as of now the program is publicly listed. Additionally, we heard internally several months ago that RAW Talk and Talking Smack were possibly returning to WWE Network as part of the free tier. This was prior to the pandemic creating delays and staff being furloughed.
Still, we want to stress that WWE hasn’t yet publicly confirmed the programs are returning. RAW Talk being listed on the schedule does seem to be a clear sign that at least that specific program will air, however. Of course, if Talking Smack does indeed also make a return, it is currently unclear whether it will air after 205 Live, before 205 Live, or if the purple brand will move to a different night altogether such as Tuesday or Thursday.
UPDATE: A new article from The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the return of ‘RAW Talk’ for the free version of the WWE Network:
The free version will not be ad-supported at launch. It will offer recent episodes of WWE flagships Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown and NXT. In addition, it will carry new shows like Raw Talk, which will stream every Monday night; original series like Monday Night War, Ride Along and Table for 3; some historical pay-per-view programming; and weekly highlights like Top 10 and The Best of WWE.
