205 Live
September 14, 2016
The show kicks off with inaugural champion Brian Kendrick who cuts a promo saying that he's glad to be back and he is proud to be the first WWE Cruiserweight Champion. He says that it was a hard fought win but that he is the man with a plan and that plan means conquering the cruiserweights, one by one. He is interrupted by Gurv Sihra who cuts a promo saying that he came so close to being the first champion and believes that he deserves the first shot at the title. Kendrick agrees and the match is on for the main event!
Singles Match
Tajiri vs. Ho Ho Lun
A decent start to 205 Live as the young gun takes on the wiley veteran. Both men got in some decent offense but in the end, Tajiri nails Lun with the Buzzsaw Kick to claim the pinfall victory.
Winner via pinfall: Tajiri at 6:03
A hype video for Mustafa Ali is shown, culminating with "Ali is coming".
Tag Team Match
Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik vs. Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann
A fast-paced tag team match saw both teams flying all around the ring that finished with Alexander hitting the Lumbar Check on Dorado to get the pinfall.
Winners via pinfall: Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann at 9:13
Following the match, Cedric Alexander attacks his partner from behind and beats him down and leaves him laying on the mat.
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Brian Kendrick (c) vs. Gurv Sihra w/Harv Sihra
In a match, which on paper, that seemed like it would be one sided, Sihra came close to victory multiple times throughout the match, even without the help of his brother. Kendrick, however, used his skill to hit him with the Sliced Bread #2 to get the pinfall and retain the title.
Winner via pinfall and still WWE Cruiserweight Champion: Brian Kendrick at 13:34 |

205 Live ended up being put in a death spot after Smackdown, so despite having some really great moments in never flourished into something bigger. It'll be interesting to see what you'll do with it. It's already really different now, I'm curious as to what your ideas are.
Also, a couple days ago I was thinking about how awesome Gran Metalik is and how should've prolly won the cruiserweight classic instead of TJP.
