Tony Nese and Akira Tozawa had a fun back-and-forth matchup to kick off tonight’s show. Tozawa got a much needed win via pinfall following the Drop Zone from the top rope.
Nese is really good at mixing in flashy stuff without completely burying the babyface in the process, something that a lot of heels in 2018 struggle to achieve. He may be the most underrated man on 205 Live.
Winner: Akira Tozawa

Backstage, Cedric Alexander asked for a match with Hideo Itami. Alexander said he wanted to defend his Cruiserweight Championship against the best of the best, and even called Itami a legend in the process. General Manager Drake Maverick said he would consider making the match.

Lio Rush finally made his 205 Live debut. He defeated Dewey James (?) in quick fashion. He actually spent the majority of the allotted time taking off his jewelry, which got a nice reaction from the crowd.
After the match, Rush cut a promo running down the rest of the 205 Live roster. Rush is going to be a huge star on the purple brand, so buckle up folks, things are going to get good.
Winner: Lio Rush
Alexander and Itami Get Heated

Alexander and Itami got into it backstage and had to be separated by referees and GM Maverick. A match between the two for the Cruiserweight Championship is going to be must-see TV for wrestling fans, to say the least.
Lucha House Party vs. Jack Gallagher, Drew Gulak, and Brian Kendrick
6-Man Elimination Tag Team Match
The #LuchaHouseParty aren’t wasting ANY TIME in this #6ManTag #EliminationMatch! #205Live @WWEGranMetalik @LuchadorLD @KalistoWWE pic.twitter.com/BFmFufPr1q

Gran Metalik was eliminated from the match in the early moments, meaning the team of Jack Gallagher, Drew Gulak, and Brian Kendrick had the numbers advantage from the jump. Lince Dorado did eliminate Brian Kendrick to even things up, but Kendrick stayed around and interjected himself into the match illegally to make things even more unfair for the LHP.
Kalisto, the last survivor of Lucha House Party, was left to face Gallagher and Gulak alone. He managed to overcome the odds and eliminate Gallagher, but the damage had been done, and Gulak tapped out The Lucha One via the Gu-Lock to get the win.
Winners: Jack Gallagher, Drew Gulak, and Brian Kendrick
