The Brian Kendrick gets his rematch
In his first match since beating The Brian Kendrick to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship one week ago, ”The Outlandish” Rich Swann defeated former Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins on Raw. Now Swann looks to the second episode of WWE 205 Live, when he’ll take on Kendrick again in a Cruiserweight Championship Rematch.
Tonight’s high-stakes contest on WWE Network has huge ramifications for both competitors. For Swann, a successful title defense would solidify his place as champion atop the Cruiserweight division. Conversely, for a seasoned ring veteran like The Brian Kendrick, reclaiming the WWE Cruiserweight Title would prove what he believes to be a foregone conclusion – that he is the best Cruiserweight in the world.
Who will make their WWE 205 Live debut?
On the inaugural episode of WWE 205 Live, The Bollywood Boyz and Jack Gallagher made their respective in-ring debuts. However, before all the jaw-dropping Cruiserweight action got underway last Tuesday, the WWE Universe was introduced to all of the Superstars that will make up WWE’s Cruiserweight division.
Although they‘ve yet to compete, Superstars such as Lince Dorado, Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali and more are ready to step inside the purple squared circle. Who will be the next new Cruiserweight to make an impact on WWE 205 Live tonight?
Will Ariya Daivari’s tactics pay dividends?
“The Extraordinary Gentleman” Jack Gallagher made his Cruiserweight division debut against Ariya Daivari on WWE 205 Live’s first episode. Using his wildly unorthodox style to his advantage, the British Superstar earned himself a hard-fought victory.
The two Cruiserweights squared off again on Raw Monday night and, once more, the unconventional methods of “The Extraordinary Gentleman” bested Daivari. Following the match, however, Daivari unleashed a brutal attack on Gallagher, targeting his opponent’s knee. Could this be the advantage Daivari needs to best Gallagher when they meet again?
