– We get comments from Gulak & Lio following Wednesday’s cruiserweight title change.

– Daivari arrives and says he loves Vegas because he’s a high roller. He loves that he can come and go while the trash have to stay there when he leaves.

Ariya Daivari vs. Chris Bey: Bey getting looks from everyone as of late. Daivari lays in strikes to begin, beating down Bey. Bey battles back and then gets dumped. Daivari dropkicks him back to the floor, and then slams him to the steps. Back in and Daivari follows with a clothesline and an iconoclasm. He talks shit, Bey fires back and Daivari cuts him off with the uranage. The hammerlock lariat finishes it. Ariya Daivari defeated Chris Bey @ 2:30 via pin [NR] Boring squash.

No DQ Match: Brian Kendrick vs. Akira Tozawa: Kendrick attacks and they trade strikes on the ground. Kendrick powders, gets a kendo and Tozawa gets one of his own. Tozawa attacks with kendo shots, chops and a jab. He follows with kicks, chokes him out and Kendrick fires back but runs into a RANA. Tozawa looks for a suicide dive but Kendrick tosses a chair into his face to stop that. He slams him to the steps, and then does it again. Kendrick slides a chair in and DDTs Tozawa onto it and covers for 2. Kendrick follows with kendo shots, gets duct tape and tapes Tozawa to the ropes. He lays in more kendo shots, brings in a bunch of chairs, and sets them up as the crowd wants tables. Kendrick chokes him out with the kendo, untapes him and looks for sliced bread into the chairs but Tozawa counters and slams Kendrick into them. Tozawa now piles up the chairs, brings in more, and makes a big pile. Kendrick fights back, they fight over a suplex, and Tozawa suplexes him into the chairs. Tozawa now gets a table, but Kendrick tosses a chair into his face and follows with kendo shots. Tozawa fires back with an enziguri, sets up the table and lays Kendrick onto it. He heads to the apron, and the senton follows, sending Kendrick through the table. Backing, Tozawa buries Kendrick under chairs and Mike Kanellis arrives and attacks Tozawa. He beats him down with kendo shots, pulls Kendrick on top of Tozawa and Kendrick wins. Brian Kendrick defeated Akira Tozawa @ 12:45 via pin [**] They were having a good match, but it didn’t hold a candle to their previous street fight some time ago. And then they went with a completely limp dick ending, because there’s nothing that kills a crowd quicker than Mike Kanellis ruining a match. Is it really that hard to just allow 205 Live to be a good wrestling show?

The final score: review Not So Good

The 411

This week’s episode of WWE 205 Live was a show. The opener was good, but no one cared. It then went into an Ariya Daivari match, where even less fucks were given. The main event was going along well and was looking to be good until Mike Kanellis of all people got involved. It was a show that happened, and doesn’t make me look forward to the future of the brand moving forward.
