Empty Seats At WWE'S 205 Taping.

Below is a shot at the crowd for Tuesday's WWE 205 Live tapings in Tulsa. WWE is taping 205 Live before SmackDown until Mixed Match Challenge season 2 ends. It will be interesting to see how they edit the tapings for tonight's broadcast on the WWE Network as there were many empty seats for the tapings. The matches started at around 6:15pm local time but the show was advertised to begin at 6:30pm local time.

Madison Rayne Signs Contract With Ring Of Honor

After making appearances for Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, WWE, and wrestling at All In this summer, Madison Rayne has signed a one-year contract with ROH.

Rayne appeared on The Taz Show today to make the announcement. She returned to ROH last November and most recently wrestled for the promotion at their television tapings in July, where she unsuccessfully challenged for Sumie Sakai's Women of Honor Championship. Rayne also challenged for the Knockouts title at Impact's Slammiversary XVI pay-per-view in July, losing to then-champion Su Yung and being put in a coffin by Yung in a post-match angle.

While going by the name "Ashley Rayne," Rayne made her WWE debut as one of the 32 participants in this year's Mae Young Classic. She was eliminated by Mercedes Martinez in the first round.

Rayne took part in a four-way match with Tessa Blanchard, Britt Baker, and Chelsea Green at All In.

During her appearance on The Taz Show, Rayne said 2018 has been possibly her biggest year in professional wrestling and called it very unexpected.
