Winner: Angel Garza, by pinfall

Garza found the opening he needed to finally put Prince Pretty away! And as much as Garza wants the gold back, what will it take to prove he’s worthy of a rematch with The Irish Ace?

My Thoughts:

A pretty good episode for 205 Live to follow up Worlds Collide, but mostly to follow up their own events from last week. Namely, THE Brian Kendrick and Daivari becoming an alliance. Naturally, you mess with Burch, you get Lorcan. That will be a good tag team match story right there, and another great potential No Disqualification blow-off down the line. Wilde VS Mendoza is a solid opener, but it seems Mendoza really is the Mendoza Line. He loses as much as he wins to stay at a .500 average. It at least helps Wilde, he needs some wins to stay afloat. Wilde is a good wrestler, but his character is a bit odd, so who knows where he’s really going in the long run. Garza VS Breeze was a really great main event, Tulsa was active and really into it, and it’s a good move for Garza to rebound after the huge loss. I can’t wait to see Devlin be live on NXT and 205 Live next week to start a program with that title. While Heel VS Heel of Devlin and Garza would be great, I still feel a Face moves up first. Either way, this fresh change will be great for everyone in the division.

My Score: 8.2/10
