Drew Gulak w/ Brian Kendrick vs Lince Dorado w/ Lucha House Party
Gulak was looking for revenge against Dorado tonight, as footage aired of Dorado stealing a win over Gulak last week via held tights.
Lucha chants reigned down on the competitors as the match began. Gulak and Dorado began with a tie-up followed by a transition into an arm wrench by Gulak. Dorado countered into a snapmare, but Gulak was back to his feet to force the Golden Linx down.
Dorado caught Gulak with two roll-up pins, with the Submission Specialist breaking out at two. Gulak then forced the high flyer into the corner with stiff strikes to the gut. Dorado fought out, landing a springboard moonsault on Gulak. As he walked Gulak over to the corner for a top rope walk arm drag, Gulak hit the ropes, crotching the luchador.
Gulak took over from here, attempting to keep Dorado grounded. Dorado attempted to get back to his feet, but Gulak caught him with a schoolboy, with Dorado's head crashing against the apron as he tumbled to the outside. Gulak threw him back into the ring and forced him into a surfboard stretch while attempting to remove his mask. Dorado fought out of it, attempting to get to the corner, but he and Gulak collided, slamming headfirst into each other.
Dorado got to his feet first, landing a pair of dropkicks to Gulak's face, followed by a spinning heel kick. The Golden Linx made his way to the top and caught the devious Drew Gulak with a high angle flying cross body. Gulak countered the pinning attempt, then forced Dorado into the ropes, but the luchador landed a Golden Rewind.
Dorado would've picked up the win had Kendrick not draped Gulak's leg over the ropes. While Lucha House Party tried to intervene, catching the attention of the ref, Kendrick hung Dorado's arm up in the ropes, and Drew Gulak locked in the Gu-Lock for the submission victory.
Drew Gulak defeated Lince Dorado
With that win, Drew Gulak has defeated all three Lucha House Party members via submission.
Backstage, Maverick berated Hideo Itami for ruining his main event a few weeks ago. Itami informed the GM that there won't be any more issues as long as he's shown respect.
TJP vs Local Competitor
TJP brought a mic out to the arena with him, claiming that Drake Maverick should give him higher profile matches and the main event slot every single week for putting 205 Live on the map. The inaugural Cruiserweight Champion told his opponent that he, frankly, doesn't deserve to be in the ring with him.
Before TJP could continue insulting him, his opponent landed a right to his jaw, infuriating the CruiserGreat. TJP then kicked his legs out from under him and immediately locked in the heel hook.
Results: No Contest
Mustafa Ali was seen backstage preparing the main event. Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander met with him to wish him luck.
Tom Phillips and Percy Watson announced that Lio Rush will make his 205 Live debuts next week. Lucha House Party will also take on Drew Gulak, Brian Kendrick, and Jack Gallagher in a 6-man elimination tag team match next week.
Mustafa Ali vs Buddy Murphy vs Hideo Itami
As Itami made his way to the ring, Phillips and Percy reviewed his latest crimes against the 205 Live roster, noting that his frustration stemmed from his inability to win a championship while in the WWE.
Mustafa Ali and Buddy Murphy tease tying up before staring daggers into the eyes of Itami. Itami rolled outside, but Buddy Murphy stopped him from walking off, allowing Ali to leap onto his two opponents from the top rope. Ali and Murphy then took turns beating down the former NXT star before finally taking each other on. Ali slung Murphy into the ropes with a hurricanrana, but the Juggernaut denied an attempted clothesline with a boot to the jaw.
Murphy was tossed over the ropes by Ali when he tried to force him outside the ring, which allowed Itami to sneak up on the Heart of 205 Live. Itami knocked Ali to the ground with a clothesline, followed by a headlock. Ali fought back to his feet, but Itami threw him into the turnbuckle followed by a back body drop. Murphy attempted to get back in the ring, but Itami kicked him off, followed by a dropkick on Ali.
Itami kicked Ali around the ring while demanding respect. Murphy snuck up on Itami, and the two traded multiple snapmare/kick combinations. Both men stood up and began a striking contest, which Itami won with a knee to the gut, doubling Murphy over.
Ali made it back into the ring, picking Itami up for a backbreaker, instead of kicking him mid-drop. As he turned around, a brutal clothesline from Murphy turned him inside out. Murphy then connected with a bridging German suplex, getting a two-count. Itami attempted to get back in the ring, but Murphy threw Ali into him, forcing him off while telling him to stay outside the ring where he belonged.
Ali attempted a schoolboy on Murphy, but the Juggernaut broke out and forced Mustafa Ali into a sleeper hold. Itami then locked in a sleeper hold of his own on Murphy, but Murphy forced him into the corner, easily breaking out of it. Ali made his way to the corner, taking out both of his opponents with enziguris.
Ali went for the rolling X-Factor facebuster, with Murphy tossing him over his back, causing Ali to hit the move on Itami. Ali then connected with a reverse rana on Murphy, spiking the Juggernaut head first, followed by a tornado DDT off the top rope.
Ali went for the 054 but was blocked by Itami, who met the Heart of 205 Live at the top. Murphy attempted to powerbomb him, but Itami fought him off. Itami went for a back suplex, but Ali escaped and Murphy held Itami in place, taking Ali out with a boot and throwing Itami off the top into a DDT.
All three men got up at the same time, trading striking combinations. Murphy chased Ali into the corner and was met with a superkick for his troubles. Itami went for another springboard tornado DDT, but Itami stopped him dead in the air with a kick to the head, before falling out due to exhaustion.
Itami got back to his feet and chased Mustafa into the corner, not falling for his enziguri spot. However, Murphy slammed Itami down to the mat with a powerbomb. Ali landed a kick on Murphy's head, leaving the Juggernaut on top of Itami. Realizing the position they were in, Ali hit a 450 splash on both men, but as Murphy rolled out, he pulled Ali away from Itami, preventing the pin.
Murphy began to set up the table, forcing Ali on top, but Ali turned it into a Spanish Fly off the table onto the ground below. The move was met with "Holy Sh**" chants as Ali slowly got back inside the ring. On the other side of the ring, Itami measured Ali, landing a hesitation dropkick on him before he could get back to his feet.
As Ali kicked out of the pinning predicament, Itami's frustration set in. He went to the bottom turnbuckle, ripping off the pad. Before he could capitalize, Ali rolled him up. Itami's kick out forced Ali into the uncovered turnbuckle, and Itami landed another hesitation dropkick, picking up the win.
