All four guys went at it the moment the opening bell rang. Mike Kanellis and Ariya Daivari quickly teamed up to take out the competition and their alliance
Daivari eventually turned on Kanellis and
Akira Tozawa and Kanellis had a striking exchange in the middle of the ring that Tozawa won with his sneaky jab/German suplex combo.
Kanellis and Metalik then took Tozawa and Daivari snuck in at the last moment and got the pinfall victory without really doing anything to earn it.
Winner: Ariya Daivari

Spoiler alert: this match kicked ass.
Cedric Alexander and Oney Lorcan started things off on the ground… lots of mat work to get this one going. Lorcan hit a brutal uppercut to turn things up a notch, but a few dropkicks from Alexander sent him down to the ground again.
These guys were hitting hard, which is normal for a 205 Live match, but things were somehow turned up a notch tonight.
Alexander went for a dive to the floor but Lorcan sidestepped him and then tossed him into the LED board. Back in the ring, Lorcan went for a half-and-half suplex, but Alexander blocked it and then kicked Lorcan HARD in the back of the neck/head.
Alexander landed a pretty Michinoku Driver, but Lorcan kicked out of the pinfall attempt at two. Alexander went for The Neuralyzer, but Lorcan cut him off with a huge uppercut to the back/head area.
Lorcan landed a powerbomb and then transitioned his pinfall attempt into a single leg Boston Crab, but Alexander managed to escape. He then went for a half-and-half suplex from the top rope (!) but Alexander dumped him all the way to the floor.
After a nice diving senton to the floor from Alexander, Lorcan landed another nasty-looking uppercut to Alexander, who was in mid-flight attempting some sort of springboard maneuver.
On the apron, both guys just started slapping the shit out of each other, which is always fun. Lorcan then hit a HUGE half-and-half on the apron (!), which sent Alexander to the floor.
Back in the ring, Lorcan landed a lariat, then another half-and-half, to score the pinfall victory.
After the match, the two shook hands and embraced before Alexander got a big sendoff in the ring. In case you missed it, Alexander is headed to Monday Night Raw.
Winner: Oney Lorcan
