Winner: Tony Nese, by pinfall

Nese is 2-0 on the One Two! But is this enough for Nese to get into the NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament and return to former glory?

NXT Cruiserweight Champion, Jordan Devlin, has a message for the Division.

“So I got word from the WWE today that due to the situation that we’re in,” that is to say the Europe-to-America travel ban, and how that affects Devlin from being able to be where he needs to, there will be an interim Cruiserweight Champion. Devlin tells “whichever one of you frauds that picks up the interim Cruiserweight title” needs to know that as soon as Devlin is able, he will show them and everyone that there is only ONE Cruiserweight Champion.

Tony Nese refuses to leave commentary.

He insists non-stop that he should be Cruiserweight Champion already, and that the WWE shouldn’t even need this tournament. Commentary does their best to wish him good luck, but Nese doesn’t want to take it. Jack Gallagher then makes his entrance and that only upsets Nese more. Nese chose Gallagher to be on Team 205 Live for the WWE Cruiserweight Civil War, and then Gallagher goes and turns on him! Gallagher of course hears Nese complaining, and heads over. Nese says Gallagher should relax and go have his match. Gallagher says it is his time, so Nese can “bugger off.” Nese leaves, saying Gallagher better hope they don’t meet in the tournament. With that, Oney makes his entrance, and it’s time for the main event!

The Premier Athlete wants to be champion again, but how far is he willing to go?


My Thoughts:

A good episode, but just another showcase as to how gutted 205 Live is. But that really takes a backseat to what the global situation has forced WWE to do with the Cruiserweight Championship. It may seem strange for the WWE to suddenly worry about title defense rules, but it does give a way to create original content for both NXT and I would hope 205 Live over the next month or two. An “interim” Cruiserweight Champion already brings up the notion that there will need to be an undisputed champion. They could’ve easily made this a #1 contender’s tournament, but WWE have yet to use their new Cruiserweight Division correctly, so of course it went this way. Ironically, this moment in time could’ve constituted this title go BACK to be the WWE Cruiserweight Championship so that the champion could be on all brands.

Devlin’s promo video is a great response to the news, and a match of him and whoever wins the tournament will be great. Nese VS Burch and Gallagher VS Oney were good matches, especially the latter. The technical exchanges and the brawling is how Gallagher should wrestle. Nese is being very involved already in the Cruiserweight Championship story, which is a sign he won’t win the tournament. Nese VS Gallagher is definitely a match we’re getting and it will be a great one. Gallagher will win that, but I don’t see him winning the whole thing, either. Before all this, it clearly felt like Isaiah “Swerve” Scott or Kushida would come out on top for NXT, so it has to be one of them.

My Score: 8/10
