For better or worse, history is made tonight as 205 Live has its first broadcast from the PC in Orlando, but it is also with an empty arena! Will that matter as the line is drawn in the Cruiserweight Division?

Empty Arena 10-Man Elimination Tag Match: Team NXT VS Team 205 Live!

This Cruiserweight Civil War was historic before, but circumstances force it to be even more unprecedented! No fans will be live to witness this battle of 205 Live OG and NXT’s new wave, but we will all bear witness to it all the same! Who will be left standing after all is said and done?

For those who forget, the Bollywood Boys were here since day one, too, so they’re being the very special film crew for this historic moment. Samir & Sunil Singh follow Jack Gallagher, Ariya Daivari, THE Brian Kendrick, Mike Kanellis and the Premier Captain, Tony Nese, to the ring. As for Team NXT, they’re without the Captain of the Hour in Lio Rush after what the no longer gentle man did to him. But joining Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, Tyler Breeze and the One Two of Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch is… KUSHIDA!! The Time Splitter had a victorious return to NXT this last Wednesday, and now he’s joining his fellow black ‘n’ gold Cruiserweights! Can they turn the tide and wash out the originals?

NXT has the greatest Cruiserweights in the WWE today! But if you look at how Kushida and Swerve look at each other, the alliance is over. Will one of these two one day be crowned WWE’s greatest Cruiserweight of all?


My Thoughts:

A great one match episode right here, especially on a night were WWE was having to work outside of the norms. Though for 205 Live, no fans live to react was tantamount to how it’d been for months when it had to go on after SmackDown. Not to be mean to live audiences, but they almost never factor in for me anyway. This match was great from top to bottom. I like the story elements to how Team 205 Live wasn’t getting along. Kanellis and Nese tried to do it on their own, but that obviously backfired. I am glad that the Singh Brothers got involved, too, as the more underappreciated originals of this new Cruiserweight Division.

Gallagher going off was great, too! Not caring about the match in order to get back at Nese and Kanellis helps him become a Tweener, and I did not think he’d eliminate Breeze so easily. Basically needing both Kushida and Swerve to take him out really helps his own power rankings, too. It’s fine that his corner dropkick didn’t finish Kushida off, because I think this new Jack Gallagher needs a new finisher. And I’m going to refer to him as Jackal Jack Gallagher now, regardless of what WWE concocts for a new nickname.

My Score: 8.4/10
