Enzo Amore is still the Cruiserweight Champion, even though nobody on 205 Live wanted him to be. A recap of the previous night's main event segment on Raw kicked off with this episode of WWE's Cruiserweight-exclusive show.

Kalisto debuted on Monday and according to Kurt Angle, he happened to be exempt from any of the recent no-contact clauses. The former Lucha Dragon made a big first impression, laying out Enzo with a Salida Del Sol.

The Enzo Amore as Cruiserweight Champion experiment has rocked the 205 Live world in the short time it's been in effect. It's all starting to gel, although he's settling in with how he interacts with some on the roster. The dynamic of him versus the entire locker room was softened with a couple of the resident heels on this episode.

Nigel McGuinness returned to the commentary table alongside Vic Joseph. Kalisto took on Ariya Daivari for his 205 Live debut. Cedric Alexander took on Gentleman Jack Gallagher as well.


#1 Kalisto vs. Ariya Daivari

Kalisto is out first and had a microphone in hand. He initially spoke in Spanish, then switched to English to talk about the opportunity that Kurt Angle gave him to join this brand. Enzo Amore's music then hit to interrupt him. He called Kalisto a "lucky little lucha leprechaun" as well as a shmuck. Enzo essentially told him that he was only going to be relevant now that he's on the "Zo Show."

Kalisto's big retort was to air the footage of Amore kicking Neville below the belt to initially win the Cruiserweight Championship. Enzo reminded Kalisto that when he faced off against Braun Strowman he ended up inside a trash can. Enzo walked back his insults of Daivari from the night before for the purpose of talking out Kalisto's opponent for the opening match. This turned out to be quite a lengthy promo segment.

Kalisto started with the fire early, giving Ariya a headscissors takedown out of the ring followed by a slick senton from his knees off the top rope out of the ring. Enzo was watching backstage on a monitor. Daivari offered a cheap shot to gain the advantage. A big boot stopped a charging Kalisto into the corner. Kalisto chin-checked his way back into control, then followed it up with a corkscrew out of the corner then a basement hurricanrana.

Daivari took over with a Spinebuster reversal of a Salida Del Sol. He tried to get the pin after a top rope Persian Lion Splash, but was unsuccessful. Kalisto then connected with his finisher, which was enough to keep Ariya down for three. Enzo Amore was then shown frustrated backstage, watching the victory celebration.

Highlights of the Brian Kendrick vs. Cedric Alexander No DQ Match from two weeks ago was shown. That was when Jack Gallagher turned hell, joining Brian's feud against Cedric. They double teamed against him again last week and stated that a "cruel winter" now begins on 205 Live.

Drew Gulak walked backstage, carrying his "No Chants" sign. Nigel stated that he'd be taking on Mustafa Ali next.

#2 Drew Gulak vs. Mustafa Ali

Akira Tozawa was a thorn in Drew Gulak's side during his match with Mustafa Ali.

Drew Gulak made his way to the ring first, accompanied by his fantastic new Metal Gear Solid-style entrance music. He grabbed a microphone and discussed the changing landscape of 205 Live.

He talked about reaching for the stars in an effort to get to his desired "Drewtopia". He was angry at Akira Tozawa for previously interrupting his slides, which are always entertaining.

Because the world desperately needed a ray of sunshine, Drew Gulak gifted us all with the latest entry of his amazing 277 slides Powerpoint Presentation. Proposal #8 was "No Flipping." Drew doesn't understand how someone is supposed to know right from wrong when they're flipping up and down as well as left to right so much. He's got a point. Mustafa Ali interrupted before any more of Drew's slides were displayed.

Before the match started, Akira Tozawa appeared at the top of the ramp with a chair and a microphone, shouting his war cry.

The contest finally began with a series of wristlocks and arm wrenches. Tozawa chanted on his mic as Drew left the ring just to annoy him. The psychological warfare worked. Ali connected with a hurricanrana off of an electric chair setup.

He later hit a top rope crossbody. When Ali tried for a tornado DDT, Drew stopped him with a vicious knee while he was draped off the top rope. There were more chants from Tozawa at this point.

Gulak was forced to endure tons of Tozawa chants by the crowd. It was clearly getting to him. Ali utilized his diving through the ropes rolling neckbreaker. Gulak suplexed his opponent into the turnbuckles. Tozawa chanted even more, which caused Drew to receive a kick on his face. That left Gulak in position for Mustafa's 054, a direct violation Drew's previously stated No Flipping rule.

Post-match, Tozawa came into the ring still holding his mic. He rallied the crowd in one final round of his chants, adding insult to injury.


It was announced that Rich Swann will take on TJP next week. Backstage, Brian Kendrick told Dasha Fuentes that he felt bad for Enzo Amore. He felt responsible for being a part of the mob that attacked him. He'd been there before -- having an entire locker room jealous of you.

Kendrick then said that Cedric Alexander represented a generation of weakness. Cedric then appeared, attacking Brian from behind mid-interview. That laid him out. That was a smart move to prevent the inevitable interference in the next match.

#3 Gentleman Jack Gallagher vs. Cedric Alexander

Jack Gallagher's own umbrella was used against him by Cedric Alexander!

Jack Gallagher came out first, carrying his umbrella followed Cedric Alexander. When the match began, the two started swinging heavy fists. Cedric won the brawling exchanges until Jack pulled him out of the ring. Cedric came back in and was kicked immediately upon entry.

The Gentleman slowed down the pace. He gave a series of stiff kicks in the corner, then followed that up with submission legwork. Cedric tried to regain control by striking out of a front face lock, but Gallagher stopped him with a dropkick off of an Irish Whip. A stiff elbow by Alexander knocked his opponent out of the ring, then he hit a suicide dive through the ropes and out of the ring.

The two took the fight to the other side of the ring and Cedric threw Jack into a barricade. Gallagher snuck underneath the ring, then emerged for a double axe handle off of the steps.

He tried to bring William III into the ring, however, Cedric intercepted it. The ref warned him of using it but he swung toward The Gentleman anyway. Needless to say, that cost Cedric the match.

The brawl continued and Cedric rag dolled Jack into the timekeeper's area. Alexander then threw him over the announcer's table. While the officials at ringside tried to stop the fight, Cedric connected with a giant top rope knee inside the ring. Brian Kendrick limped down the ramp to stand by his buddy's side whereas Alexander stood tall inside of the ring as the show came to a close.
