The WWE Network will air 3-hours of newly released pretaped wrestling shows tonight. Starting at 7 PM, 205 Live (not live), NXT, and the Mae Young Classic will air back-to-back-to-back. 205 Live was taped before Smackdown aired last night in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
205 Live Preview 9/19
Cruiserweight Championship
Cedric Alexander (c) vs Drew Gulak
Only one match is scheduled for tonight’s 205 Live. Cedric Alexander will look to defend his Cruiserweight Championship for a 4th consecutive time. The winner of tonight’s match will go on to face Buddy Murphy in Melbourne, Australia at Super Show-Down.
Gulak has been running rampant in the cruiserweight division since Summerslam in an attempt to get a title rematch. His efforts pay off tonight but ending Alexander’s title reign will be no small task.
NXT Preview 9/19
NXT North American Champion vs WWE United Kingdom Champion
Ricochet (c) vs Pete Dunne (c)
It will be champion vs champion tonight when Ricochet clashes with Pete Dunne. The two men have been on the same side in a rivalry with the Undisputed Era but both want a crack at the others title. Both championships will be on the line tonight. The Undisputed Era might be watching this match closely as well.
Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo vs. Lacey Evans and Aliyah
This match came together as a result of an altercation the 4 competitors had recently at the WWE Performance Center. Kai defeated Aliyah in single’s action recently. On NXT last week, we saw Aliyah and Kai arguing in the back. Eventually, Lacey Evans got involved in defense of Aliyah and Deonna Purrazzo then sided with Kai, leading to tonight’s tag-team match.
Jaxson Ryker In Single’s Action
Ryker’s partners in the Forgotten Sons, Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler, made their debut two weeks ago on NXT programming. The faction has been competing on NXT live events for some time, however. This week it’s time for Jaxson Ryker to debut in the men’s single’s division.
The man known as Gunner in TNA will look to make an impact tonight.
Search For Aleister Black’s Attacker Continues
William Regal will continue his investigation into who attacked Aleister Black tonight. There is speculation Regal even conducted his investigation at PWG BOLA 2018 this weekend.
I’d like to thank every one of the staff and competitors at PWG for their hospitality the last two nights.
