205 Live this week was from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Austin Aries made his first appearance since Extreme Rules, and an unfortunate angle from Raw was continued.

New Orleans, LA
1. Cedric Alexander vs. Ariya Daivari
- Alexander defeated Noam Dar on Raw, after Dar was distracted by his face-timing “fluffy button”, Alicia Fox. Daivari is coming off a win as well, having defeated Gran Metalik on Main Event.
- Alexander was getting the upper hand when Noam Dar came down to ringside while again speaking to Alicia Fox through FaceTime. Dar’s phone was pictured on the big screen.
- As Dar approached the ring, Cedric gave him a dropkick and took the phone. He hung up on Fox, then kicked out of a roll-up by Daivari.
- After kicking out, Alexander hit the Lumbar Check and pinned Daivari.
- He tried to tell Noam that things between them are over, but that doesn’t appear to be working for him.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
Austin Aries Addresses WWE Universe
- Aries mentioned he has some injuries which will keep him out for awhile.
- As he’s talking, “the Premiere Athlete” Tony Nese comes to ringside and starts running Aries down.
- This brings out Jack Gallagher, who told Nese he was “no Austin Aries”.
- Nese tried to attack Gallagher, but was thwarted, and thrown from the ring.
2. Akira Tozawa vs. TJP
- Earlier in the show, we saw Tozawa backstage with Titus O’Neil. The leader of the Titus brand was trying hard to recruit Tozawa.
- TJP and Rich Swann spoke briefly before the match. Swann told TJP that he had started to make the 205 Live fans believe in him again (not sure that’s true).
- Tozawa won with a series of german suplexes, followed by a diving Senton for the pin.
Winner: Akira Tozawa
- After the match, Titus O’Neil celebrated in the locker room, but was interrupted by Neville.
- Neville said that Tozawa was only next in line for disappointment if he challenged him for the cruiserweight championship.
- O’Neil told Neville, that Tozawa is the future of 205 Live.
