Really disappointed about #TalkingSmack. We tried to make that show great. Guess I’ll go back to welcoming my guest at this time.

UPDATE: “Talking Smack” isn’t the only WWE Network series to be canceled today. After news broke that WWE had canceled the series in its weekly format, Renee Young responded to a fan question on Twitter and said her WWE Network series “Unfiltered”, in which she conducted one-on-one interviews, has also been canceled.
WWE has said “Talking Smack” will continue as an after-show for SmackDown-branded pay-per-view events.
Yep

ORIGINAL: WWE has cancelled “Talking Smack” as a weekly series. This past Tuesday’s episode was the final episode. “Talking Smack” will stick around, but only as a post-pay-per-view broadcast for SmackDown Live! brand events.
WWE said in a statement: “We continuously review WWE Network’s programming line-up based on a variety of factors, including viewership and subscriber research. Talking Smack and RAW Talk will air following pay-per-view events, and Tuesday will continue to feature 205 LIVE.“
