WWE 205 Live Results
September 5, 2017
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Commentary: Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness

TJP defeated Ariya Daivari

TJP came down for a match (with Ariya Daivari’s graphic shown). Daivari then entered, with Rich Swann bringing a chair with him to the announce table to do commentary for this.

TJP started things off sloppily with a weird move that sent Daivari outside. He then hit the double-jump dropkick to the apron before Daivari took him down with a kneeling surfboard. TJP regained control with a vertical suplex into a back suplex for two. Daivari sent him down and missed a frog splash, leading to a Detonation Kick finish for TJP. Swann danced, dabbed, and challenged TJP to a match next week.

Akira Tozawa defeated Drew Gulak

Drew Gulak passed out pamphlets backstage aiming to make 205 Live better before facing Akira Tozawa. McGuinness confirmed via a text from Kurt Angle that TJP will face Swann next week. Gulak proposed Bill Watts’ rules from 1992 — there should be no jumping off the top or middle ropes. Tozawa thankfully interrupted this PowerPoint presentation.

Gulak used a headlock to grind Tozawa down. Tozawa recovered with strikes, but he got slammed off the apron into the barricade. Gulak surfboarded him, but Tozawa made it to the ropes. Gulak worked the arm, but Tozawa got his battle cry going and landed a sick forearm and a snap rana. A pump kick on the apron sent Gulak outside for the suicide dive. Gulak ate a Saito suplex and Tozawa went up top, but Gulak prevented a senton — yet still ate a windmill kick. The senton bomb then ended it. This was a fine showcase for both guys.

Backstage Interview: Enzo Amore and Neville

Charly Caruso asked Amore if he’s as athletic as Neville and Cedric Alexander, and he said he isn’t — but he’s the Al Capone of the microphone and he’s using his certified GPS to put 205 Live on the map. Neville said Amore looks ridiculous and 205 Live is an arena for serious athletes — not Amore.

Enzo Amore defeated Cedric Alexander, Brian Kendrick, Gran Metalik, and Tony Nese in a fatal five-way elimination match to earn a Cruiserweight title shot at No Mercy

Alexander tossed Metalik into the heels while Amore stood on the floor and chatted with fans. Alexander and Metalik had a ton of slick exchanges in 30 seconds — these guys need a program against each other at some point.

Amore then pulled Kendrick down while Alexander and Nese went at it mid-ring. Nese was distracted and was cradled by Amore, who was sent into the rope and ate a slingshot suplex to the floor by Kendrick. Amore was covered for two, but he came back and hit a flatliner on Kendrick. Kendrick and Nese superkicked Amore, who rolled outside. Alexander hit a standing C4 to Metalik, then we got a Tower of Doom out of the corner. Nese and Kendrick beat up Amore on the floor and tossed him over the announce table.

Nese hit a running elbow on the floor that sent Metalik spinning. He tossed Metalik in and set up the corner knee, but he backed into a Lumbar Check from Alexander to take him out.

Alexander hit the handspring kick on Kendrick and countered a Metalik Driver with a Lumbar Check to send Metalik out.

Alexander really does feel like a natural opponent for Neville, but Kendrick came close to ending that possibility with a Slice Bread that got two. Kendrick locked on the Captain’s Hook but got cradled for two and released it. Kendrick locked it on again, but Alexander got to the ropes. Alexander hit the Lumbar Check on Kendrick to eliminate him, but Amore snuck up and cradled Alexander to win the match.
