Jake Atlas vs Tony Nese on 205 Live

For anyone keeping track, Tony Nese came out as a heel once again, stating that he and Isaiah "Swerve" Scott were done. The former 205 Live Cruiserweight Champion seemed to have the young upstart on the ropes, but Jake Atlas was able to use his unorthodox offense to get Nese on uneven ground.

Atlas caught the Premier Athlete in a cravate hold, trapping Nese in the middle of the ring. A crucifix pin led to a near fall, with the new bright star of 205 Live taking it to Nese.

However, Nese finally broke away from Atlas with a belly-to-back suplex. After battering Atlas, Nese went for a suplex, but couldn't hoist him up. However, Nese was able to escape a sunset flip for a spinning back kick to the jaw, nearly getting the win there.

Nese seemingly had it in the bag and set up for the Running Nese by launching Atlas into the corner. Atlas wasn't having any of it and rebounded with a big clothesline. The 205 Live vet was taken out with a big springboard blockbuster but kicked out.

Nese responded with another kick to the dome and followed up with a springboard moonsault. Still, he couldn't put Atlas away. The two men traded rights and chops, leading to Nese's chasing forearm. Atlas sent Nese to the floor and hit a suicide dive, launching Nese into the 205 Live announcer's desk.

Back inside the ring, Atlas moved up for a dive. Nese rolled to the apron and caught Atlas with a cheap right to the jaw. Drew Gulak complimented the move, which Nese had to turn to because, of course, he loves praise.

This allowed Atlas to roll him up for a three count.

Results: Jake Atlas defeated Tony Nese via pinfall on 205 Live.

Grade: A

After the match, the 205 Live original laid out Atlas with a Running Nese before moving over to the announcer's desk. "The 205 Live brand is crap without Tony Nese."
