205 Live Highlights: Sasha Banks Backs Up Rich Swann

205 Live
May 30th 2017
Atlanta, GA

1. Noam Dar vs. Rich Swann

Before the match started, Fox and Banks got into a verbal altercation which entered around how each of them wear wigs.

This was a rematch from Monday’s Raw, when Swann defeated Noam. He started off strong this match too, taking the early advantage, until Dar changed the tide with a leg sweep to Swann while he was on the apron.

Swann began to make a comeback and looked to hit Dar with a running dive to the outside. With the ref’s back was turned however, Fox tripped up Swann as he bounced off the ropes. This led to Banks and Fox brawling on the outside, with hair extensions being pulled out and all.

While the melee was going on outside, Dar hit a running knee to the face on Swann and pinned him.

Winner: Noam Dar

2. Cedric Alexander vs. Corey Hollis

Before the match Alexander was interviewed in the back. He said he wasn’t about to waste time with Alicia Fox and Noam Dar, indicating he is no longer involved with that angle.

While the match looked to be a showcase bout for Alexander, Hollis got some offence in by targeting Alexander’s injured knee, the same one which had put him on the shelf for weeks.

Alexander battled back to hit a spinning back kick followed by the Lumbar Check to get the pin. It was clearly established that Alexander’s knee is a weak point for future opponents to take advantage of however.

Winner: Cedric Alexander

3. Mustafa Ali vs. Drew Gulak

Gulak came out with his usual protest sign, declaring 205 Live to be a “No Fly Zone”. Ali hit a diving attack to the outside before Gulak could enter the ring, allowing him to take early control.

Later in the match, Gulak pushed Ali off the top turnbuckle, and Ali clutched his knee when he landed. Later, Ali would gain control again and hit a somersault into a neck breaker, but again clutched his knee afterwards. He then went for a cross body off the top rope, but Gulak rolled through with it to end up on top of his opponent, and pinned him for a 3-count.

Ali went for 2 top-rope moves late in the match and was countered each time. Gulak now has 2 straight victories over Ali.

Winner: Drew Gulak
