Opening sequence.

Rich Swann vs. Ariya Daivari

Mustafa Ali vs. Brandon Scott

Ali flips around to start and grabs a hurricanrana before kicking him in the head. Scott gets in a few kicks to the chest and gets two off a hard clothesline. A high crossbody drops Scott again and a kick to the head sets up the inverted 450 for the pin on Scott at 3:24.

Akira Tozawa vs. Brian Kendrick

Kendrick says that was Lesson #9: Anything can be used as a weapon.

TJ Perkins vs. Tony Nese

Drew Gulak says 205 Live needs to change and blames the WWE Universe. The fans are cheering for these glorified stuntmen but worry not because he has a solution.

Akira Tozawa vs. ???

Someone has sent Alicia Fox a neglige and Noam Dar wants to know if it was Rich Swann, Jack Gallagher or Ariya Daivari. Their relationship is beyond gifts and Dar faces Swann next week.

Mustafa Ali vs. Neville

A staredown wraps us up.

Jack Gallagher/Mustafa Ali vs. Tony Nese/Noam Dar

Back from a break with Ali armdragging Nese into an armbar. Gallagher comes in and gets beaten down as well with the tag formula going full steam ahead. Jack escapes a body vise and makes the hot tag to Ali for the rolling neckbreaker. Gallagher is brought right back in for the headbutts, setting up the inverted 450 to give Ali the pin at 9:15.

And now from the end of Raw.

We open with a long recap of Jack Gallagher vs. Neville. This feud needs to end in a hurry as it feels like little more than filler, which to be fair, it is.

Noam Dar vs. Lince Dorado

The announcers chat for a bit.

Akira Tozawa vs. Brian Kendrick

Kendrick says that was another lesson for Tozawa. More lessons are coming.

Noam Dar vs. Mustafa Ali

They trade wristlocks to start until Ali backflips away and dropkicks him to the floor. That means a big flip dive (Aries: “MAMA BELLOMO!”) with Ali jumping over the referee for a nice touch. Dar kicks him in the leg on the way back in though and things slow down again. Back in and Dar starts working on the arm for a change, only to eat a dropkick to the face.

Jack Gallagher vs. Tony Nese

The idea here is that Nese is the most comparable person to Neville on the roster. Nese throws him down to start and we hit the pose. That earns him a takedown into a SICK looking armbar with Gallagher tweaking the mustache and making sure his hair stays straight. Back up (thankfully without a torn pectoral), Nese elbows him in the face and tosses Jack over the top for a breather. One heck of a superkick drops Gallagher again and we hit a bodyscissors.

Ariya Daivari vs. Mustafa Ali

Gran Metalik arrives next week.

Lince Dorado vs. Brian Kendrick

Post match Kendrick calls Tozawa out but gets Tajiri and the mist to the eyes instead.

Jack Gallagher vs. Mustafa Ali vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Noam Dar vs. TJ Perkins

Elimination rules here and the lights flicker for a bit at the start. Dar gets surrounded early on and Cedric clotheslines him out to the floor. The other four pair off with Ali and Perkins getting the better of it. Jack runs Dar over on the outside and Cedric sunset flips Perkins for two. That leaves Dar and Cedric to slug it out in the ring with Noam getting the better of it but getting dropkicked outside by Gallagher.

Neville comes out for the staredown to end the show.

Brian Kendrick vs. Mustafa Ali

From Raw.

Seth Rollins vs. Braun Strowman

A low superkick gets two and the springboard knee to the face only has a limited effect. Seth knocks him off the top (which freaks Byron out way too much considering it was the second time in the match) and a frog splash gets two. One more trip to the top goes a bit worse though as Rollins crashes into the barricade. Braun is fine with just watching him for the double countout at 11:36.

Seth holds Braun off with a chair.

From Raw again.

Sin Cara/Darren Young vs. Shining Stars

One more from Raw to wrap it up.

US Title: Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens/Chris Jericho

Jericho comes in and grabs the chinlock, only to have Roman, whose arm is banged up, come back with clotheslines. The Superman Punch misses Jericho and a Lionsault gets two. A Pop-Up Codebreaker is countered with back to back Superman Punches but Owens gets in a superkick from the floor. Reigns blocks the apron powerbomb though and scores with the apron dropkick. The Codebreaker slows Roman down though and now Owens hits the powerbomb on the apron. Back in and another Codebreaker gives Jericho the pin and the title at 8:19.

We open with a long recap of Neville vs. Swann last week with the champ losing a non-title match.

Opening sequence.

Tajiri vs. Sean Maluta

Tajiri still looks so strange without the goatee. Maluta grabs a headlock to start and hits a good looking headbutt. For some reason Maluta charges into the corner, earning himself a Tarantula. Some VERY hard kicks to the head drop Maluta and the handspring elbow puts him down again. The Buzzsaw kick ends Maluta at 2:52. This was basically saying “Hey, remember Tajiri? Here he is again.”
