Money in the Bank 2019: 5 potential finishes for the Cruiserweight Championship Match - Ariya Daivari vs Tony Nese

#2 Tony Nese loses via DQ

Tony Nese has rarely lost his cool on 205 Live, save for a No DQ match against Noam Dar

Over the past month, 205 Live's commentary team has praised Tony Nese in almost every aspect. He's a fantastic athlete, he's got a never say die attitude, he's got a devastating array of moves, he's got almost everything it takes to make a formidable champion. The key word being "almost."

Nigel McGuinness, Vic Joseph, and Aiden English have all stated that there's a question as to whether or not Tony Nese has a "killer instinct" in the ring. Various times on 205 Live, we've heard them and other competitors on the roster say that he doesn't have that aggressive side in him, which is why he failed to rise to the higher end of the card back in 2018.

The top stars of the brand have all left at this point. Cedric Alexander, Buddy Murphy, and Mustafa Ali are all on the main roster, Hideo Itami left the WWE back in January, and Drew Gulak has started appearing in NXT. It's a pretty easy argument to make that Nese is champion because his superiors left the brand.

This isn't entirely true, though. Nese's feud with Noam Dar in late 2018/early 2019 showed that he has a serious aggressive and deadly side to him. He sent Dar packing after a no DQ match where he bulldozed the Scottish Supernova multiple times, proving that he has what it takes to use his anger to his advantage when the time comes. However, that was a no DQ match, and he let that dark side get the better of him there.

At Money in the Bank, if tensions get high enough and Daivari continues to get into his head, we may see Nese snap. If that does happen, the champion won't lose his title, but he will lose the contest, giving Daivari another shot at the belt in the near future.
