According to Sports Illustrated, main reason Talking Smack was dropped as a weekly show was due to Vince hating the direction of the show. Wasn't a money or viewership problem but Vince feeling the unscripted-like format of the show wasn't in WWE's best interest.

Quote:
Contrary to reports, Talking Smack was not canceled due to a lack of viewers.

The WWE Network show, popular among fans for its organic nature, was canceled by Vince McMahon.

McMahon, whose appearances at weekly WWE television shows is becoming increasingly irregular, was at TVs this past week. Sources close to the situation reported that McMahon was unhappy with the show and strongly believed it did not serve the company’s best interests.
Also was revealed the eventual plan is to completely ditch the show at a later date. Right now its only planned to occur for Smackdown PPVs.
