Gallagher escapes the headlock with a hand-stand. Gallagher then suspends himself upside down on the top turnbuckle and makes it back to the match by putting Ariya Daivari into a shoulder hold. Gallagher then proceeds to tie Daivari's arms and legs up together and leaves him struggling in the middle of the ring as Daivari can't seem to escape.
Gallagher then kicks Daivari, knocking him over and finally getting out of the knot. Daivari knocks Gallagher out of the ring and finally starts beating him down.
Daivari puts Gallagher in a headlock but Gallagher makes it out of it and connects with a series of standing dropkicks. Gallagher then connects with a crossbody and covers Daivari for the pin but Daivari kicks out.

The word going around is that WWE plans on getting Austin Aries on 205 Live's premiere episode. Aries is out of action due to a broken orbital bone and according to PWInsider, the former TNA Champion could make an appearance in a non-physical role to boost the star power on the first show of the brand new series.
The premiere of WWE's latest Cruiserweight exclusive show 205 live would be live after SmackDown ends. The first episode would feature a Cruiserweight Championship match between Brian Kenrick and Rich Swann.
The show is billed as an 'all hands on deck' affair with top cruiserweight talents such as TJ Perkins, The Bollywood Boyz, Akira Tozawa, Lince Dorado, Jack Gallagher, Gran Metalik and Cedric Alexander in attendance backstage.
Sin Cara has been pulled off from the first episode as a punishment for his recent altercation with Chris Jericho. If you've been a fan of the breathtaking Cruiserweight Classic, this one is sure to blow your mind.
