General Manager Drake Maverick was on commentary for this bout, plugging the new hotness that is 205 Live and scouting some of his talent up close. Maverick is tremendous; arguably the best on-screen GM in WWE at the moment.
Gallagher and Tozawa had a nice back-and-forth match centered around Gallagher working Tozawa’s left elbow. Tozawa used his striking ability, as well his patented top rope senton, to even the odds and secure the victory.
Winner: Akira Tozawa

Mustafa Ali, the only good guy in this match, found himself the victim to multiple double and triple team maneuvers throughout the bout. Ali fought hard, but ultimately, he went to sleep via Gulak’s Gu-Lock submission (as well as some rough offense on the outside from Hideo Itami).
Those are the basics, but this was a fantastic match. There was even a “this is awesome” chant, which is always a sign of how good the bouts on 205 Live are, because the crowds are usually pretty dead during the opening moments.
Winner: Drew Gulak
