No Disqualification Match
The Brian Kendrick Vs. Jack Gallagher
Jack stands in the ring, eyes focused on Kendrick as Brian yells “I’m a fighter!” Gallagher with some big strikes early on, Kendrick grabs the umbrella, goes for a swing, but it’s blocked. Gallagher then goes to work on Kendrick’s back as he bails out of the ring.
Following his opponent out, Gallagher with a running dropkick sending Kendrick out to the crowd. Gallagher beats Kendrick through the crowd, throwing him into the barricade and tossing equipment boxes into him. It’s been all Gallagher so far. The brawl makes it’s way back into the ring, but Kendrick is sent right back out to the floor. Gallagher begins to dismantle the announcer table. He heads over and Kendrick nails him with a kendo stick, then slams Jack’s head into the steel steps over and over.
Kendrick somehow busted Jack open quite badly. Gallagher gets his foot tied into the ring apron ties and Kendrick swings for the fences a few more times. Ringside Doctor checks out Gallagher as Kendrick taunts the crowd. Looks like Gallagher got busted open on one of those whacks against the steps. Kendrick brings a ring bell into the ring and smacks his opponent’s head on it, then locks in the Captain’s Hook with the help of a kendo stick to get the win!
Winner: The Brian Kendrick

Backstage, Dasha Fuentes talks with Noam Dar, Drew Gulak, and Tony Nese. Dar says he may have underestimated Enzo on Raw and that Enzo didn’t beat him, he beat himself. Gulak jumps in and feels like Enzo is going to tarnish the good name of 205 Live. Tony is counting his abs and is completely over talking about Enzo.
TJP comes out and joins the commentary team for this next match. He’s still on crutches and with a knee brace.
Rich Swann vs. Ariya Daivari
TJP says the knee is coming along, but he’s taking his time getting back to 100%. After some back and forth holds, the pace picks up as both Superstars go for pin attempts, each getting a two-count. Swann landing a rolling splash, goes for a pin, two-count.
Daivari heads to the outside, plays possum and slams Swann on the announcer table. Daivari then grabs one of TJP’s crutches, attempting to bring it in the match, TJP rips it away from him. A semi-distracted Daivari gets rolled up and pinned.
Winner: Rich Swann

After the match match, Daivari slides out and beats up TJP, jamming a crutch into TJP’s stomach. Daivari throws him in the ring and suddenly TJP can wrestle! He flips off the ropes and does a spinning kick to take Daivari out. TJP says his knee is getting better to Swann, Swann grabs a crutch and hands it to TJP. Disappointed, Swann heads out of the ring as TJP goes back to Daivari and lands a detonation kick.
In the locker room, Cedric Alexander and Gran Metalik are met by Enzo Amore. Enzo then starts drawing up a game plan, Cedric says that’s not needed as those two have been around since 205 Live started. Enzo tries to go back to a game plan as Metallik and Cedric look at each other and sigh.
It looks like @real1 has a GAME PLAN for his #205Live in-ring debut… but how do @WWEGranMetalik and @CedricAlexander feel about it? pic.twitter.com/hNicYBY2jV

The heels come to the ring for this huge 6-man tag match. Gran Metalik and Cedric Alexander are out next, followed by the always-talking Enzo Amore. Enzo makes fun of all three guys in the ring, even going as far as to say Drew Gulak looks like Captain Underpants.
Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, & Noam Dar vs. Enzo Amore, Cedric Alexander, & Gran Metalik
Starting off is Gulak and Enzo, Gulak tries dancing like Enzo before the two lock up. Gulak starts working Enzo on the mat, saying “you want to disrespect us?” Gulak really putting the boots to Enzo before he’s able to tag in Cedric. Gulak yells from the apron “I got more for you punk!” at Enzo.
Nese and Cedric in the ring, Cedric using his quickness to keep Nese grounded. Enzo wants back in, gets the tag, Nese continues to taunt Enzo about being new to the division. Metalik and Cedric with stereo dives. Metalik did an amazing step-up variation and landed on his feet! Enzo wants to do the same and Nese cuts of him off at the pass. Action back in the ring, Alexander is getting worked over by both Nese and Gulak.

Alexander trying to make a comeback, finally drops Gulak with a nice handspring roundhouse kick. In come Nese and Metalik, the king of the ropes dances on the second rope and hits a nice dropkick. Nese gets dropped near the corner. Metalik goes for a senton, but Gulak pulls Nese out of the way, Cedric clears out Gulak. Metalik able to tag in Enzo who hits a high crossbody on Nese, then clears out Dar. Enzo counters Nese, rolls him up and puts his feet on the ropes to steal a victory for his team.
Winners: Enzo Amore, Cedric Alexander & Gran Metalik
Enzo’s finisher is terrible but I guess it’s befitting of him. Tony Nese and the heels can’t believe they lost, especially considering Enzo cheated, while Enzo dances with Cedric and Metalik in the centre of the ring. We see Neville watching from the backstage and he is laughing, still not impressed with what he sees.
.@WWENeville… LAUGHING?!?
The #KingOfTheCruiserweights doesn’t seem intimidated by @real1‘s victory. #205Live pic.twitter.com/u3v8tAhJZJ
