DASHA FUENTES INTERVIEWS MARK ANDREWS- meh promo by Andrews

WWE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Akira Tozawa vs. Mark Andrews- 6.5/10
Good opener. Andrews picked up the roll-up win, which everyone played up as a huge upset.

DASHA FUENTES INTERVIEWS JACK GALLAGHER- he’s facing Mustafa Ali next week. Drake Maverick shows up and gives him a similar speech to the one he gave Nese and Gulak last week, and ordering him to show up in actual wrestling attire for his match next week.

BUDDY MURPHY VIDEO PACKAGE- I totally forgot he existed. This was good. They talked about him having to cut weight to make it into the tournament. He weighed in at 204.4lbs. He is facing Ariya Daivari next week in a tournament match.

WWE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Drew Gulak vs. Tony Nese- 8.75/10
Gulak offers a handshake but Nese rejects it. They had a match that was an interesting combination of EVOLVE, New Japan, and WWE, mixing some very EVOLVE sequences with New Japan physicality and pacing, and WWE-ish psychology for a fun blend of wrestling that felt like a knock-down, drag-out fight where they did a great job of making everything matter. Make sure you check this one out.

Another great show from the new 205 Live!
