There has been talk of using NXT Superstar Austin Aries for tonight’s WWE 205 Live premiere from Columbia, SC. Aries is currently out of action after suffering a broken orbital bone, so this would be a non-physical role, but he’s been discussed as one of the ‘names’ that can be used to establish the show early on.
It’s interesting to note that Sin Cara is not being brought in for tonight’s 205 Live premiere, despite being added to the cruiserweight division recently. PWInsider reports that tonight’s show is an “all hands on deck” event but Cara is not being used.
As reported, 205 Live will be headlined by Rich Swann vs. Brian Kendrick for the Cruiserweight Championship. Other cruiserweights advertised include Jack Gallagher, Ho Ho Lun, The Bollywood Boyz, TJ Perkins, Cedric Alexander and more.
