News broke earlier today that WWE cancelled Talking Smack as a weekly program airing after 205 Live on the Network. It will still air following SmackDown Live pay-per-view events but that’s the extent of it.
While that’s unfortunate, if the show wasn’t garnering enough viewers to justify its existence, well, that’s just a sad reality and it’s hard to blame the company for making a business decision. We can absolutely blame them for not telling the host of the change before it hit social media and she had to find out that way:
Hmmmm that's one way to get news. https://t.co/sNIYUZfD7N

Followed by retweeting this:

And favoriting a tweet about WWE jerking her around this year.
But you can always count on Big E to keep it light:

She ended it classy, though:
Really disappointed about #TalkingSmack. We tried to make that show great. Guess I'll go back to welcoming my guest at this time.

We’re bummed too, because that show was great.
