Posted by: goukijones Dec 13, 2019 | 673 views | 15 comments

Hello DropTheBelt Players,

We have some new and exciting rules being added for 2020. While these rules are in a beta phase, the specific description may change. Please stay tuned to this story for any updates. Have a comment or suggestion about any of the DropTheBelt rules? Leave a comment below. All new rules will be added once the current season ends.

205 Live will no longer be a part of DropTheBelt Fantasy Wrestling for WWE. 205 Live will move from the WWE League to the NXT League. Earlier this year the Cruiserweight Championship was changed to the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. The Roster is way down, the show did not air a few times and 205 Live has been very prominent on NXT. The NXT League will now have another trade window close on Friday.

These are the instances we are looking for.
