Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Enzo Amore is still the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, after defeating Kalisto for a final time on the Survivor Series Kick-Off Show. With that win, Enzo has finally put to bed the feud with Kalisto, something we’ll all be pretty happy about, and now he moves on to a new challenger. Who will step-up though? Cedric Alexander? Rich Swann? Mustafa Ali? It seems likely to be one of these guys, unless of course we get a surprise return.

Drew Gulak and Akira Tozawa will do battle tonight to put a nail in their feud. For weeks Gulak has been boring the WWE Universe with his presentation slides and his new determination to stop all chanting. Well, naturally this got under the skin of Akira Tozawa, whose main method of communication is a chant. The two have traded barbs and blows as of late and tonight things shall be settled in a Street Fight.

That’s it for tonight’s 205 Live preview, the show begins right after SmackDown Live and remember to download the Ringside News app. Enjoy the show!

205 Live opens with a shot of a Thanksgiving feast on a table, with Enzo Amore, Mustafa Ali, Noam Dar and Tony Nese standing around. Enzo starts a prayer and Noam tries to eat some food, so Enzo slaps his hand. He says he’s a G, and because of the Zo Train, he’s now 5G and they’re well connected. He got them all matches for tonight’s show. Enzo says last night’s loss was not a good look for them, and when you’re on the Zo Train you’re expected to represent the Enzo brand. He says if they make him look good tonight he will give them a Cruiserweight Championship opportunity. Enzo pauses and asks where Drew Gulak is and they say he’s working on a new presentation. In walks the Gobbledy-Gooker, which turns out to be Drew Gulak, who says he’s trying to lighten up. Enzo looks baffled.


We go live to the arena in Houston and the announcers welcome us to the show. Later tonight, Tony Nese will face Mustafa Ali. Also, Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander will take-on Ariya Daivari and Noam Dar. Up next though, it’s Street Fight time!
