205 Live tonight takes place from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Two matches have been announced for the show thus far. The main event features a single’s match between two top contenders. We will also get a match in the burgeoning cruiserweight tag-team division tonight.

205 Live Preview (8/5/18)

  • Mustafa Ali vs Buddy Murphy

    • Mustafa Ali and Buddy Murphy will meet in 1-on-1 action tonight.
    • Ali is coming off a loss to Cedric Alexander at WrestleMania 34 and is looking to get back in the title picture.
    • As for Buddy Murphy, he returned to 205 Live recently after being absent for several weeks due to missing weight.
    • Murphy had originally earned the right to challenge Alexander for the cruiserweight championship but 205 Live General Manager, Drake Maverick, rescinded it after Murphy failed to make weight.
    • While Maverick hasn’t specifically said as such, the winner of this match could easily be the next to challenge Cedric Alexander for the WWE cruiserweight championship. Drew Gulak, who defeated Kalisto last week, could also be in the running, however.
    • As for the champion, Cedric Alexander’s most recent title defense came against Kalisto at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

  • The Brian Kendrick & Jack Gallagher vs. the Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik)

    • We will also get another preview of the pending cruiserweight tag-team division tonight, as the Lucha house party will take on the team of the Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher.
    • Last week, Gallagher and Kendrick defeated Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa. Following the match, Itami and Tozawa got into an argument. It’s possible the team of Itami and Tozawa will be broken up before the tag titles are even introduced.
    • As for the Lucha house party, their stablemate Kalisto was the last to challenge Cedric Alexander. Kalisto won a gauntlet match to earn the right to challenge for the title. He then lost to Gulak in single’s action last week.
    • Both of these teams will be looking to rise up the rankings before cruiserweight titles are finally introduced.
