This week, we saw two 205 Live superstars perform on Raw and Smackdown respectively. Bobby Lashley's hype-man, Lio Rush, faced Elias on Raw, and Mustafa Ali faced WWE Champion Daniel Bryan on Smackdown.

While the former match was made as a part of a feud between Elias and Lashley, the announcement of the latter served as a nice surprise because many, including me, would have never thought that we needed this match so badly.

This was an enormous step for the 205 Live division, as not only did one of its wrestlers get a main roster match, but it was against the top champion of the company.

We have even seen 205 Live's manager, Drake Maverick, making appearances on Raw as AOP's manager. These roles are doing their jobs very well as they intrigue new people to watch some high-flying stunts and over the top actions in 205 live.


1. WWE will continue to protect Charlotte

The Wrestlemania 34 rematch between Charlotte and Asuka was easily the highlight of this week as both women gave whatever they had to stand tall at the end. It was a high-quality affair which took both women to their limits.

Even though it was not in any way near their Wrestlemania affair, it still did enough to create the hype for their Triple Threat Ladder Match with Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women's Championship.

However, the end result was very disappointing as Charlotte Flair hit Asuka with a kendo stick, ending the match in a disqualification. The management didn't want Asuka to lose as they wanted to build her up for the TLC match, and they continued to protect Charlotte by not letting her take a pin.
