April 25th 2017
1. Rich Swann & Akira Tozawa vs. Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar
Commentary confirmed that Alicia Fox isn’t on 205 Live anymore now that she and Noam Dar have broken up. Fox will most likely be on Raw from here on out.
Battle of the 205 mid-card storylines here. Tozawa pinned Dar after hitting the shining wizard.
After the match, Tozawa tells Kendrick he didn’t pick a good partner. Tozawa’s 4th lesson to Kendrick is to “always choose wisely”.
Winners: Tozawa and Swann (Tozawa pinned Dar)
2. Mustafa Ali vs. Tony Nese
Dru Gulak joined commentary to talk about how he doesn’t want the cruiserweights on 205 Live to use high-flying moves, continuing his program with Ali.
Gulak pulled Nese out of the ring to prevent him from being hit with a flying move from Ali. Since Gulak made contact with Nese first the DQ win was awarded to him.
After the match Ali hit a flying cannonball on Gulak and chased him away fro the ring area.
Winner: Tony Nese via DQ
3. “Gentleman” Jack Gallagher vs. Neville (non-title)
A good technical match between the two of them, but Neville ends up making Gallagher tap to the Rings of Saturn. After the match Aries attacked Neville on the ramp, giving him the Last Chancery and softening him up for their 2nd title match Sunday at Payback.
Winner: Neville via submission
