The resurrected WWE reality series Tough Enough will officially return on Monday 4/5 at 11 PM Eastern, airing directly after Monday Night Raw on the USA Network, The New York Times reported today.
After the series debut, it will settle into a Monday 8 PM timeslot on 4/12.
The Times report confirms that the series would debut the Monday after Wrestlemania and likely be paired with WWE's flagship series. At that point, there were discussions for the series to follow Raw after it went off the air.
WWE's Kevin Dunn described the series as a way to get viewers "who wouldn't watch a live wrestling show" to watch the WWE product.
Casting is currently ongoing. The series will follow 12 men and women training to win a WWE contract.
The lone Tough Enough winner still with World Wrestling Entertainment is John Morrison, who won the third season. Current WWE champion The Miz competed in the fourth "Million Dollar" version of the series, which was featured as part of Smackdown.
