This season the show will be aired live on ABC from September 18th onwards. Interestingly, it will clash against the flagship show of the WWE, Monday Night Raw. But, with one of the supposed franchise players featuring on the ABC show, WWE will earn more mainstream attention.

The elder Bella was also approached for the show last year. But, since she returned following the Summerslam PPV, her schedule did not allow her to feature on the show. There’s no confirmation till date, on her return. Hence, we could certainly expect her to be seen more in such shows.
