Lio Rush defeated Noam Dar

Rush jumped him before the bell and then hid behind the referee — so he’s a babyface on Raw but a heel on 205 Live. Dar faked him out off a leapfrog and kicked his leg out to start things off. Rush hit his slick handspring kick on the apron and got two after an iffy Asai moonsault.

Rush got a reverse bear hug before Dar escaped quickly, then Dar got his knee kicked out from under him. Rush went for a crossbody, but Dar ducked. Dar hit a throwing Northern Lights suplex for two. Dar’s punt to the leg was countered, so Rush went for a tornado kick that Dar countered into an ankle lock.

Dar hit a suplex into the buckle for two. Rush hit a kick combo and the frog splash for the win.

Backstage: Drake Maverick, Cedric Alexander, Buddy Murphy

Maverick was between Alexander and Murphy, who was wearing a shirt that was at least two sizes too small. Maverick was in all-purple and looked like a tiny, overly-tanned grape. He hyped both guys up before Murphy briefly got angry when Alexander’s accolades were recapped. Murphy said he’ll win at Super Show-Down. This was understated given the fact that it’s on a major event — not sure if that’s good or bad as it should feel like the focus of at least this show and it doesn’t.

Brian Kendrick defeated an enhancement wrestler

Kendrick kicked him and locked on the Captain’s Hook for an instant submission. In the right context, a quick and intense squash like this is how you get someone over quickly. Gulak beat up Kendrick’s opponent for a while to a mild chorus of boos. Kendrick tossed the guy outside.

Backstage: TJP

TJP did a selfie promo in a mask and talked about his history of wearing a mask — so he knows about the history of the mask. TJP said he didn’t care about it then or now. Next week, he’ll tap out Kalisto.

Mustafa Ali vs. Hideo Itami ended in a double countout/no contest

Ali landed a nice spin kick to start things off. They fought on the floor and Itami bullied him around for a bit. Ali got two off of a sunset flip into a cradle. Itami faked him down and hit his cocky kick off a foot stomp tease. Itami got a half-crab. Ali escaped, so Itami just beat the tar out of him around ringside.

Itami landed a nasty snap suplex on the floor, but Ali recovered and got a sunset flip into a Liger Bomb for two. Ali hit a flip dive to a “205” chant. Ali dove to the floor again, but he ate a kick that got two for Itami. Ali avoided the hesitation dropkick and got the springing tornado DDT for 2.5.

Ali went for the 054, but Itami crotched him and got a super Falcon Arrow for 2.9! Itami and Ali fought up top. Ali shoved him off and went for the Tanahashi-Okada frog splash spot, but it got mistimed and didn’t quite hit well.

Itami got knocked onto the apron, the 450 hit for Ali on the apron, and both were out as the match was called off. Maverick came down and told them to control their breathing.
