This week on 205 Live, Mustafa Ali and Buddy Murphy would meet in a no disqualification match. The winner of the match is likely in a position to challenge the winner of Hideo Itami vs Cedric Alexander title match next week.

205 Live Results 7/3/18

Century Link Center
Omaha, NE

1. Noam Dar defeated TJP

  • TJP has been asking Drake Maverick to give him better competition for several weeks now. Maverick told him he had picked his opponent for this week himself. TJP questioned whether Maverick should actually be doing this every week, seeing as he is the GM of the brand.
  • Noam Dar was the surprise opponent. The returning Scottish SuperNova made short work of TJP.

2. Akira Tozawa defeated Jason Strife

  • Lio Rush came out to do guest commentary during this match.
  • This was the 3rd straight victory for Tozawa on 205 Live. He defeated Tony Nese last week and another local talent 2 weeks before that. His last loss was to Drew Gulak on an episode of Main Event from June 4th, 2018.
  • After the match, Lio Rush said, unlike Tozawa he doesn’t wait for anything.
  • Rush then challenged Tozawa to a future match.

3. Mustafa Ali defeated Buddy Murphy (no disqualification match)

  • Ali started the match off with a diving senton to the outside on top of Murphy and things just kind of went from there.
  • Some of the big spots included Ali giving Murphy a Spanish fly from the guardrail on top of an announce table. Ali also gave Murphy a super-plex from the top an over-turned set of steel steps. Murphy also used the steps to jump over the ring ropes onto Ali.
  • The finish of the match began when Ali got tied up in the ring ropes and Murphy delivered several running knees to his face. After untying Ali, Murphy went for the pin but only got a close 2-count. Ali then fought back and gave Murphy a tornado DDT off the steel steps and got the 3-count for the win.
  • The commentators suggested Ali will be watching next week’s title match closely.
