This week, 205 Live was graced by the Irish Ace, Jordan Devlin, who captured the NXT Cruiserweight Championship at Worlds Collide. Though he didn't defeat Angel Garza, a pinfall over Isaiah "Swerve" Scott gave him his first championship in the WWE. Tonight, Devlin showed up in the land of the cruiserweights.
Our main event features the NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin in a triple threat with Lio Rush and Tony Nese. The latter two men have kicked off an incredibly explosive rivalry, and both feel they deserve a shot at the belt. A win over the champ tonight may just prove their point.
Last week, Oney Lorcan returned to 205 Live, saving his tag team partner Danny Burch from a two-on-one assault by The Brian Kendrick and Ariya Daivari. With One Two back together, they kicked off 205 Live tonight in tag team action.
Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch vs The Brian Kendrick & Ariya Daivari
Lorcan and Burch tore into Kendrick and Daivari, lighting both men up from the word go. Daivari and Lorcan were the legal men, with the Star Destroyer...well...destroying Daivari on the inside while Burch brutally battered Kendrick on the outside.
Burch tagged in as Kendrick and Daivari nearly caught Lorcan in a tag team maneuver. The Guvnor was able to take both men on two-on-one, leaving them dazed with strong punches. However, Daivari tripped up Burch as he bounced off the ropes, putting he and Kendrick back in control.
The duo took to Burch's leg, the one they'd attempted to injure last week. Kendrick trapped Burch in a heel hook, leaving him writhing in pain as Oney Lorcan looked on. Lorcan was foaming at the mouth as if he had rabies.
Burch finally broke away and tagged in Lorcan, who leveled bot Kendrick and Daivari with running uppercuts. A double running blockbuster took them down before he tagged in Burch. Daivari interrupted the elevated DDT with a chair, only for Burch to duck and hit a dropkick, sending the chair into Daivari's face.
Lorcan picked up the chair and battered the Persian Lion with it, forcing a DQ.
Results: Ariya Daivari & The Brian Kendrick defeated Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch via DQ.
Oney almost caved Daivari's skull in with the chair, but Burch stopped him, instead demanding that he get the table, Dudley Boyz style!! Sadly, just before they could set it up, Kendrick yanked Daivari out of the ring.
The Singh Brothers vs Joe Furrow & Devin Dixie
The Singh Brothers completely ignored their opponents, opting to dance for the first minute. Dixie rocked Samir with a hard right to the jaw, but he recovered with a boot to the jaw.
The Singhs took out Dixie with a double dropkick to the jaw and a dual elbow drop. Dixie kicked out at two. Dixie fought out as Sunil tagged in, bouncing his head off the turnbuckle. Samir came in with a powerbomb, driving him from the top rope to the mat.
Furrow was met with dual superkicks on the apron, and the Singh Brothers finished Dixie off with the Bollywood Blast.
Results: The Singh Brothers defeated Joe Furrow & Devin Dixie via pinfall.
A few weeks ago, Lio Rush and Tony Nese put on one of the best bouts we'd seen in 205 Live since the Murphy/Alexander/Ali/Itami/Gulak era. With Jordan Devlin, Angel Garza, Raul Mendoza, Lorcan, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, and several others, we could very well be on the verge of the true golden age of 205 Live.
Tony Nese vs Lio Rush vs Jordan Devlin
Nese and Rush got in each other's face, annoying Devlin, who felt he was the true star. Rush dropkicked Nese to the mat, leading to a one-on-one meeting between Rush and Devlin. The Man of the Hour escaped a German suplex and avoided several strikes, catching Nese with double boots to the jaw.
Nese rushed in, hanging Rush up on the top rope neck first. The triangle moonsault gave him a pin, but Devlin broke it up. Nese avoided a clothesline and rocked Devlin with his patented combination, but the champ avoided the leg sweep, dropping Nese with a DDT.
Devlin avoided a powerslam and managed to spike Rush on Nese with a uranage slam. A standing moonsault earned him a two-count. Rush was sent to the floor so Devlin could focus on Nese.
Nese withstood an assault from the champ and rolled off the apron on the outside for a strong left hand. As he moved to the apron again, a handspring double kick knocked him to the ground. Devlin rolled in and dropped Rush with a standing Spanish Fly!!
A backdrop backbreaker and a vicious elbow drop put some serious strain on the spine of the Man of the Hour. As Devlin took Rush up, Nese rolled back in. The two men fought for the right to superplex Rush. However, they decided to go after Rush together to increase their odds of winning.
Rush fought them both off, bouncing their heads together and sending them to the mat. A high angle crossbody took them out, and Rush avoided some heavy strikes from both men. Rush sent Nese into Devlin and hit both Nese and Devlin with the Come Up Stunner!! Nese kicked out!
With Nese dazed on the mat, Rush set up for the Final Hour. The Premier Athlete rolled outside. Rush hit Nese with a suicide dive, only to be hit with an Asai moonsault from Devlin. Nese followed up with a Fosbury Flop to Devlin.
Nese drove Rush into the table, only to be hit with a crossbody from Devin. Back inside, a slingshot cutter almost earned Devlin a win. Rush yanked Devlin off of Nese, angering the Irish Ace.
Devlin brought Rush in, looking for Devlin Side. Rush blocked it with a leaping knee. Devlin responded with a headbutt. Nese rolled in, rocking Rush with a rolling uppercut and spiking Devlin wit the Sunset Driver! The champ managed to kick out just in time.
As Nese moved to the top, Devlin cut him off. Nese shook him off only to miss the 450 Splash. Rush's Final Hour was blocked by Nese's knees. The 450 hit, but Devlin rolled in to yank Nese off for the Devlin Side.
Results: Jordan Devlin defeated Tony Nese via pinfall.
As Devlin left, addressed all the top talents on 205 Live, stating that the NXT Cruiserweight Championship would be returning to the UK, and there's nothing they could do about it.
