205 Live tonight featured two fantastic matches, with one sleeper in the opening as Ever-Rise looked for redemption in a match against Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch.
The main event featured Prince Pretty and Swerve in an instant classic. Tyler Breeze has had a pretty great run on 205 Live thus far. Isaiah Scott, while racking up a lot of wins, ended the Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament at 1-2. He came into the match tonight incredibly frustrated, something Breeze was willing to work with. Could Isaiah "Swerve" Scott get back on track tonight on 205 Live?
The opener was a rematch from NXT. On Wednesday, Ever-Rise were demolished by Lorcan and Burch in minutes. Tonight, though, Chase Parker and Matt Martel had something to prove, and came in swinging.
One-Two (Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch) vs Ever-Rise (Chase Parker & Matt Martel)
Martel and Parker managed to get Burch into their corner, stomping the veteran out and taking the fight to the Guvnor. Burch narrowly ducked a Thesz press from Parker and picked the leg, dragging him to Oney Lorcan on 205 Live.
Lorcan hammered Parker with uppercuts and chops, but an Irish whip reversal drove Lorcan's spine into the corner. Ever-Rise set up for a tag team maneuver, but Lorcan sent Martel into the corner with an uppercut. Parker was nearly caught in a single leg Boston Crab just like Wednesday, but Martel broke it up by sending Burch into his partner on 205 Live.
With Burch disposed of, Ever-Rise continued to work over Lorcan on their half of the ring. Parker drove his elbows into the back of Lorcan's head. Martel tagged in, but was dropped with a running blockbuster.
Burch and Parker tagged in, with Burch delivering some harsh right hands to his opponent. A boot and German suplex earns Burch a nearfall. Parker escaped the Tower of London in the corner, and Ever-Rise managed to drop Burch with a fireman's carry diving backbreaker.
Oney Lorcan broke up the pinfall and took the fight to Parker on the outside. Burch trapped Martel in the crossface. Parker tried to break it up, but was caught in the single leg Boston Crab. Just like NXT, tonight ended in a double tap-out on 205 Live.
Results: One-Two defeated Ever-Rise via submission.
Grade: B+
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott was desperate for a win on 205 Live tonight. Thanks to Tony Nese, he was taken out of the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship Title Tournament, as the Premier Athlete helped Jack Gallagher knock the cocky young Superstar out. Scott's confidence was shot, and he needed a big win.
Trouble was, he was facing Prince Pretty, and that's never an easy match on 205 Live.
Tyler Breeze vs Isaiah "Swerve" Scott
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott came in to the match low on confidence and missed a couple of his patent moves from the get-go on 205 Live. A leaping head scissors undershot, leaving him on the mat as Tyler Breeze asked if he was okay. Later on, he moved to the top but stumbled, allowing Breeze to rock him with a kick.
Breeze took advantage of Scott's lack of confidence, taking the fight to the young cruiserweight. Breeze launched him spine first into the turnbuckles and clubbed his back with forearms. However, Scott began to fire up, and rocked Breeze with a right hand that landed right on the button, nearly knocking out Breeze.
As Breeze rolled to the floor, Scott leaped onto the apron for a leaping boot to the face, driving Breeze to the ground. Back inside, a rolling flatliner dropped Breeze for a nearfall. Scott's frustration went from a weakness to a strength, as Scott continued to batter Prince Pretty with nasty kicks.
Breeze avoided a dive and landed a leaping enziguri, forcing a kick out at two. Breeze set up for a suplex, but was rolled up. He and Scott traded pitfalls, leading to a deadlift German suplex from Swerve, who spiked his opponent right on his head. Swerve lined up the House Call, but Breeze ducked. The Supermodel Kick was blocked, and Scott stunned Breeze wit a hangman's backbreaker.
Breeze managed to stay on his feet and responded with the Supermodel Kick, but couldn't get the win. In the corner, Breeze set up for the Cheeky Nandos kick. Swerve countered and slid out of the turnbuckle, setting Breeze up for the Confidence Boost and the win on 205 Live.
Results: Isaiah "Swerve" Scott defeated Tyler Breeze via pinfall on 205 Live.
Grade: A
After the match, Scott got in Breeze's face, and it was hard to tell if they were just trading respect or talking trash to close 205 Live.
