After last week's episode of 205 Live was canceled before Survivor Series, there has not been a more important episode of the Purple Brand in quite some time. With Lio Rush having successfully defended his title, first on Survivor Series, and then on NXT.
Rush's win allowed NXT to pick up a big win early on in the night as they were able to enter the main show on an equal footing with RAW and SmackDown. This later allowed them to pick up quite the win later in the night!
With a successful titleholder, the Purple Brand headed into this episode with quite some momentum. Here's what happened at 205 Live tonight!
Raul Mendoza vs Ariya Daivari
Raul Mendoza was able to maintain control of the match in the early going. Mendoza's speed and unique fast offense saw Daivari in quite a lot of trouble. Daivari was able to reverse once or twice, but the high-flying offense was something that Daivari was not really able to stop in its tracks.
Daivari hit an incredible Urinagi that made it look like he would be picking up the win, but Mendoza was able to kick out. He then went for the Back Drop, but Mendoza reversed, took him down with the Single Leg Dropkick and the Swirling Sidewalk Slam himself.
Daivari kicked out and got the Superkick. He went for the Hammerlock Lariat but was kicked in the face instead. He hit another Enzuigiri and was trying to finish the match, but was stopped by Daivari.
Daivari came out of nowhere with the Hammerlock Lariat and picked up an impressive win.
Results: Ariya Daivari defeated Raul Mendoza.
In a backstage promo, Jack Gallagher said that he needed to win, but Angel Garza made fun of him saying that no one cared what he needed. He then addressed the NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush and said that he would be sending a message to him.
Danny Burch vs Greg Williams
Danny Burch has always been an excellent Superstar on NXT but is not known for his singles matches. He showcased his strength in the ring on 205 Live this week.
Burch was in obviously brilliant shape and his strength was obvious to anyone who could see him. Known for his team with Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, the latter has not always been in the limelight, but with Lorcan asking to be released, it might be his chance to showcase his singles capability. He threw around his opponent in the early going and dominated from the very start.
Burch hit the Headbutt on his opponent and hit a German Suplex followed by a Clothesline. He hit the Top Rope Hangman's DDT to pick up the win in the night.
Danny Burch was in 205 Live to create an impression and he did on the unfortunate Greg Williams.
Results: Danny Burch defeats Greg Williams
Angel Garza vs Jack Gallagher
Angel Garza has gotten under the skin of Lio Rush over the past few weeks, bringing Rush's family into the proceedings as well, much to the displeasure of the WWE Universe and Rush.
Gallagher came out to the ring and he had a lot to prove as well.

He went on to dump down Gallagher and beat him down, also hitting him with the rope-bounce Suplex.
Gallagher hit Garza with a Headbutt, but Garza's focused offense on Gallagher's midsection was paying off and he increased his offense by hitting him with a mid-air Dropkick.

Gallagher was left devastated in the ringside area. He destroyed the commentary table and threw water at the referee and started throwing steel chairs at the man who counted the pinfalll as well, as the referee tried to run away.
