On May 25, 2016, WWE announced a relaunch of the brand extension, billed as the "New Era". The second brand extension went into effect on July 19, 2016, when "SmackDown" began broadcasting live on Tuesdays. In addition to Raw and SmackDown, during the second split WWE has operated three other brands: NXT (formerly a developmental territory that launched in 2012, but now promoted as WWE's third global brand since 2019); NXT UK, a United Kingdom-based brand launced in 2018; and 205 Live, a cruiserweight-exclusive brand also launched in 2018—the latter two are promoted under the NXT banner.
