The time has finally come. NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar will make his 205 Live debut tonight. The leader of Legado Del Fantasma has been terrorizing the division for a while now and looks to expand his reign of terror to 205 Live.
Legado Del Fantasma made a dominating debut last week, with Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza earning an easy tag team win. Escobar leads by example, however, and is looking to make one of Oney Lorcan tonight.
We kicked off 205 Live with the return of a WWE Superstar we haven't seen since February, Mansoor!
Mansoor vs Tehuti Miles on the 205 Live opener
Mansoor brought Tehuti Miles down with a single-leg takedown. Miles got back to his feet and overpowered Mansoor. He kept the high-flyer out of the air with a headlock in the middle of the ring.
A decavitator left Mansoor gasping for air. Miles followed it up with a beatdown in the ropes, including a running knee to the back of the head. A neckbreaker gave Miles a two-count.
Mansoor fought out of another headlock and rolled up Miles with a hurricanrana for a near fall. An inverted atomic drop-spinebuster combination set up for the slingshot neckbreaker from Mansoor, but he could still only get a two.
Miles avoided the Moonsault and planted Mansoor with a flapjack. However, Mansoor was able to put Miles away with an electric chair death valley driver!
Results: Mansoor defeated Tehuti Miles on 205 Live via pinfall.
Grade: B-
This was Mansoor's second match on 205 Live in his short WWE career. Back in November, he knocked off veteran WWE Superstar and former Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick. If all plays out right, Mansoor may be on his way to a title bout. Sadly, it would be against Santos Escobar and Legado del Fantasma.
205 Live Main Event: Oney Lorcan vs Santos Escobar w/Legado del Fantasma
Santos Escobar went after the injured arm of Oney Lorcan, hoping to make his 205 Live debut a short one. The Star Destroyer was not at 100% after a brutal war with Timothy Thatcher a few weeks ago.
Being forced to defend his weakness, Lorcan struggled to get out the gates early on. Escobar held Lorcan down on the mat with a wrist lock, sitting on his back as he did so. The Resident Brawler of 205 Live was unable to throw any good right hands or uppercuts due to the injury.
A step-up enziguri on the apron allowed Escobar to drive Lorcan's arm into the ring post. As Escobar moved to the top, Lorcan ran in for a running uppercut that connected but didn't have the same oomph as it usually does. Escobar slung Lorcan's arm into the post again.
After a long time on the mat, Lorcan was able to take the fight to Escobar with some chops and uppercuts. The running blockbuster phased him, but the NXT Cruiserweight Champion snapped Lorcan's arm with a double knee armbreaker. Following that, the Phantom Driver put Lorcan down for the count.
Results: Santos Escobar defeated Oney Lorcan via pinfall on his 205 Live debut.
Grade: B
