Tony Nese has wrestled almost everyone on 205 Live, thus making it hard to offer up many new match ups. His first defense was against Ariya Daivari at Money in the Bank, and he retained his title in a decent match.

In order to freshen up 205 Live after the Superstar Shake Up, Oney Lorcan has appeared on the show as have the Singh Brothers. On the second-to-last episode of 205 Live, a Fatal Four-Way was held in order to determine Nese's next foe.

Lorcan, Akira Tozawa, Drew Gulak and Humberto Carillo all battled for the right to challenge Nese at Stomping Grounds. Gulak and Tozawa pinned each other at the same time, creating a dual-winner situation on the purple brand.

This past week's episode made the title match at Stomping Grounds a Triple Threat match. Those matches are usually fast-paced and exciting, but despite the two-week build to name a challenger, this match is ranked towards the bottom.

It's not to say that they didn't tease things in prior weeks, but only recently was a challenger determined.
