This week's edition of WWE 205 Live featured a tag team bout between four superstars from the NXT Breakout Tournament as Odyssey Jones teamed up with Trey Baxter to take on the heavyweight duo of Joe Gacy and Josh Briggs.

Gacy and Briggs had pushed each other in the past few weeks on the purple brand while Jones eliminated Baxter in the Breakout Tournament. It was an interesting dynamic to see if the rivals could co-exist.

The opening match was a women's division bout between Valentina Feroz and Katrina Cortez, both making their debut on 205 Live, and looking to make a name for themselves.

Feroz took control of the early part of the match on 205 Live using her technical prowess and kept Cortez down with a headlock. The latter tried to create some separation but was almost immediately put back down.

Cortez then threw in a few punches, followed by a knee to the abdomen and an uppercut, and managed to get a breather. She then dominated Feroz for a while, slamming her onto the mat before going for a submission. Katrina transitioned it into a crucifix pin for a near fall.

Momentary hesitation from Cortez cost her as Feroz bounced back into the contest with knees and arm drags. Cortez then went for a Boston Crab, which was reversed by Feroz, who delivered a Judo Toss followed by a running DDT for the pinfall victory.

Result: Valentina Feroz defeated Katrina Cortez via pinfall on 205 Live.

After the latter was taken down by a clothesline followed by a knee to the gut, Gacy tried to attack Jones but was slammed into the mat.
