So, last week, Drew Gulak beat Oney Lorcan in a Cruiserweight Championship rematch, but the story wasn’t over.The two had a nasty brawl in the back after the show, leading to Drake Maverick declaring a massive tag match for this week!

Team Gulak vs Team Lorcan. Let the Cruiserweight Civil War begin!

Team Gulak (Drew Gulak, Ariya Daivari, Mike Kanellis, Tony Nese, and Angel Garza from NXT’s Breakout Tournament) vs Team Lorcan (Oney Lorcan, Humberto Carillo, Jack Gallagher, Akira Tozawa, and Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott)

Okay, I honestly wasn’t expecting this match to be the WHOLE show, but a tag match this big is probably going to take awhile, especially if it’s a Survivor Series style match, which is what it seems like it’s going to be given that basically the entire 205 roster is in this match.

The quadruple dive with Williams IV, V, VI, and VII, which is more King Williams than have existed in the whole of English History, was really fun.

I really appreciate that the NXT guys got a chance to really shine in this match. It would’ve been easy for the top 205 guys to take the whole spotlight, but they didn’t. Also, Carrillo vs Garza was LOVELY.

Also, as seen in the header, Mike Kanellis was back! Unfortunately, he didn’t get as good a showing as I would’ve liked, but he was there and eliminated someone along the way.

Scott vs Garza was so good to watch. I can’t believe NXT was keeping these guys off TV because they are SO good!

Was NOT expecting that confrontation between Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher. Looks like Kendrick might be getting ready to turn heel again.

Scrap this whole multi-man and make it Garza vs Scott.

I just get nothing from Humberto Carrillo. I want to, he’s a great talent and screams ‘babyface’, but I just feel like there’s nothing to him.

Did Lorcan just take out his own partner? No, wait, that was Garza, my mistake. In my defense, Garza and Carrillo are both wearing white and gold ring gear.

So, Gulak got DQ’d for using a chair, saving himself from being pinned by Lorcan or Carrillo, but I don’t think that’s going to help him with Maverick.

Good god, Garza didn’t even try to hide the fact that he was using the ropes for leverage. Don’t they teach that in heel school?

So, Carrillo gets the win for his team, but the champ wasn’t pinned, so it was a pin that really means nothing. However, it’s clear that Gulak vs Lorcan isn’t over with, but after all that, the continuation of ONE feud seems like small potatoes. Maybe it’s just me.

That’s it for Tiffany’s 205 Takes! Tune in tomorrow for the NXT coverages.

Is it SSSOOOON to be #JacketTime?

In perhaps one of the biggest tag matches on 205 Live, the Grizzled Young Veterans, Gibson & Drake, take on Kushida and Jiro, AKA Jacket Time!

OFFICIAL RESULTS

Roderick Strong w/ Diamond Mine VS Ru Feng; Strong wins.
Valentina Feroz VS Erica Yan; Feroz wins.
Jacket Time VS Grizzled Young Veterans; GYV wins.

QUICK NOTES

Wow, they got this up to 32 minutes! Yeah, there’s sarcasm there. But in seriousness, it is rather disappointing that the Cruiserweight Champion opens the show that was supposed to put the division on the map. Feng gets a good showing, but of course Strong wins, and I do like that they’re making his jumping knee a finisher. When is Strong going to take on Cruiserweights? WWE released guys like Trey Baxter, Oney Lorcan, as well as Lucha House Party, who could’ve and should’ve returned to NXT to bump up both the NXT Tag and Cruiserweight Divisions honestly. Then Yan gets a good debut as the second-ever Chinese woman wrestler signed to WWE, but Feroz continues an undefeated streak, and she might be one of the 2.0 female superstars tagged to get a slow burn push.

And as I said with WWE putting Sarray and Ember Moon and a few others on 205 Live before, this show should rebrand to NXT Lite. And also like with WWE putting those bigger names on here, it’s less raising 205 Live and making it seem like those names are dropping down. Grizzled Young Veterans VS #JacketTime, Kushida and Jiro, would’ve been on NXT 1.0 and we wouldn’t even have things like Lashing Out taking up time. That said, we get a really good 12 minute match, but I should’ve figured the Creed Brothers would screw Kushida & Jiro over. They’re having a match on Tuesday, this “ruins” Jacket Time’s debut so that their first win will be on TV.

My Score: 8/10

Sarray is back on 205 Live!

205 Live heats up as Boa has a rematch with Jeet Rama and the Warrior of the Sun, Sarray, takes on La Diva del Ring, Katrina Cortez!

OFFICIAL RESULTS

Jeet Rama VS Boa w/ Tian Sha; Boa wins.
Sarray VS Katrina Cortez; Sarray wins.
Xyon Quinn VS Ru Feng; Quinn wins.

QUICK NOTES

Rama VS Boa again so soon is pretty cool, maybe a small rivalry can build and 205 Live can play its part in building them both up. Of course Quinn wins again, he hasn’t faced any real big names yet. Who he loses to could be a big sign towards a feud, assuming he doesn’t get a title opportunity before then. But again I argue that Sarray being on here doesn’t so much raise 205 Live as lower her. For one, she wasn’t even the main event, which she should’ve been since this is not even really 205 Live anymore but NXT Lite. NXT 1.0 clearly had plans for her but 2.0 doesn’t seem to care about that. At least she’s getting to do something, but I’d rather she do that something on NXT.
