Dave Meltzer has confirmed that WWE has been using AJ Styles to keep the audience from leaving the arenas during the WWE 205 Live broadcast. WWE has been announcing Styles in dark matches following 205 to keep "butts in seats." WWE has been struggling with viewership for the broadcast also on the WWE Network, it's believed Enzo Amore was moved to 205 in part due to his backstage heat but also to help viewership as Cruiserweight Champion.
Working every night. Saved for dark matches a lot on Tuesday to make sure crowd doesn't leave during 205 Live. https://t.co/kOnCDL3NZs
