Another week, another episode of 205 Live in the books. Legado Del Fantasma, Ever-Rise, and the Brit-Am Brawlers/One-Two or whatever else they've been called took over the majority of the show. Suddenly, 205 Live has turned into a tag team show instead of a Cruiserweight specific one.
After the beatdown they received alongside Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch at the hands of Legado Del Fantasma, Ever-Rise hoped to get some revenge this week. A fan poll was put up to see which team would battle Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde in the 205 Live main event.
Sadly for Ever-Rise, they lost. They'd still wrestle on 205 Live, though, and had a statement to make.
We kicked off things with the recently rebranded Ashante "Thee" Adonis, who debuted his new name earlier this week on NXT. Tonight, he opened 205 Live, and was hoping to take on a 205 Live veteran. He got what he wished for with the former Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick.
Ashante "Thee" Adonis vs The Brian Kendrick on 205 Live
The Brian Kendrick took on the young upstart, formerly known as Tehuti Miles, Ashante "Thee" Adonis. A pinpoint dropkick rocked Kendrick, but he responded with a big boot that laid the 205 Live rookie out.
Kendrick worked over Adonis's arm, locking in a varied set of submission holds. The second-ever Cruiserweight Champion on 205 Live controlled the majority of the match. However, he was taken down with a big clothesline as Adonis bounced off the turnbuckle.
A series of kicks and forearms laid out Kendrick. Adonis booted Kendrick into the ropes and caught him rebounding with a Rolling Spinebuster. Kendrick kicked out, but just barely.
Adonis spiked Kendrick with a DDT. However, because he couldn't help but talk trash, a cocky pin allowed Kendrick to lock in the Captain's Hook for the win.
Results: The Brian Kendrick defeated Ashante Adonis via submission on 205 Live.
Grade: B
After the match, Kendrick offered his hand to Adonis. The 205 Live rookie shook his hand and earned some sound advice, with Kendrick believing that Ashante was a star in the making.
Ever-Rise vs Andrew & Erik Lockhart on 205 Live
Chase Parker and Matt Martel laid out their opponent with a vicious Backbreaker/running boot combination. The "Greatest Team on 205 Live" didn't even let The Lockharts get out of the starting blocks. Martel followed that with a launching German suplex.
Parker tagged in for the Ever-Rise patented drop toe hold/leaping elbow drop. Chase Parker allowed his opponents to make the tag. The Lockharts took the opportunity, but it didn't really matter much. Ever-Rise dropped the fresh Lockhart on the turnbuckle with a double flapjack.
The double wheelbarrow gutbuster gave Ever-Rise the win.
Results: Ever-Rise defeated The Lockharts via pinfall on 205 Live.
Grade: C
We got a replay of the beatdown that One-Two and Ever-Rise took on 205 Live last week. Legado Del Fantasma left both teams battered and broken, with the NXT Cruiserweight Champion and his lackeys raising their hands high. Tonight, in the 205 Live main event, Legado Del Fantasma, with Santos Escobar in tow, will take on One-Two.
However, Ever-Rise weren't finished, as they still had to get revenge on the trio.
One-Two (Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch) vs Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza) w/Santos Escobar on 205 Live
Oney Lorcan battered Joaquin Wilde early on in the 205 Live main event. However, Wilde managed to drag the Star Destroyer to Legado Del Fantasma's corner, leading to the duo taking control.
Raul Mendoza lost control, however, and Lorcan sent him into the corner of his partner Danny Burch. The Guvnor of 205 Live went to work, hammering Mendoza and tearing at the luchador's arm. The flying leg kick planted Mendoza on his face. Lorcan tagged in for a double suplex.
Lorcan saved Burch from a crossbody after tagging out, and it seemed that Burch still had things in hand. However, a distraction from Wilde allowed Mendoza to yank Burch off the turnbuckle.
A double spinebuster led to LDG trying to snap Burch in half with a wishbone on his legs. Finally, a pair of seated dropkick hit, dazing Burch. However, as Wilde tagged in, he missed a dropkick when Burch held onto the ropes. The Resident Brawler of 205 Live tagged in and went to town on Mendoza and Wilde.
Oney Lorcan laid out Mendoza with a running uppercut and planted Wilde with a running blockbuster. Burch tagged in for the elevated spike DDT. However, Mendoza broke up the pinfall.
Lorcan and Mendoza fell to the floor. Santos Escobar got up on the apron, but was stopped by Ever-Rise. The distraction did work, still, and Wilde rolled up Burch with an extra handful of tights for the win.
Results: Legado Del Fantasma defeated One-Two via pinfall on 205 Live.
