WWE 205 Live Results (01/02): Hideo Itami vs Jack Gallagher

The show starts with a video package recapping last night’s RAW where Drew Gulak talked about Enzo Amore, who had to head to the hospital because of a flu and what Enzo Amore wanted him to tell from a piece of paper. The video package also showed Cedric Alexander still wanting to have a match against someone, since Enzo wasn’t able to defend his Title. The match became a Tag Team Match in which Goldust ended up coming out to team with Alexander to face Gulak and Ariya Daivari. Alexander would eventually pick up the win for his team.
Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness welcomes us to the show and says that Enzo hasn’t been medically cleared, so he won’t be on the show tonight. They also say that Hideo Itami will be taking on Jack Gallagher, and we will see a rematch from last night’s RAW where Goldust and Cedric Alexander will be facing Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari later on tonight. But first, we have our opening match of the night coming up next.
Akira Tozawa vs. TJP: TJP makes his return after being away for a couple of months, but the crowd didn’t react at all. The match gets going with TJP showing some disrespect right off the bat. Tozawa gets mad and goes to work. Tozawa hits TJP with a big boot to the face, followed up by a running senton, but TJP bails to the outside. Tozawa goes for a suicide dive and gets kicked on his way out. Tozawa starts to sell an injured shoulder and TJP focuses in on it. TJP is feeling pretty confident right now and he works Tozawa over before going for a pin. TJP continues to work over Tozawa’s shoulder and the crowd is dead quiet for this one.

Tozawa with an Irish Whip to the corner, then goes for a roll up, but only a two count. A “We want Neville” chant breaks out. TJP hits a side suplex on Tozawa while keeping his arm wrapped behind him for more damage. TJP locks in more submissions, but Tozawa is able to escape and he gets a boot to the face. TJP works on Tozawa’s shoulder more, but Tozawa hits a snap suplex on TJP and sends TJP to the floor. Tozawa is able to hit a suicide dive this time. Tozawa quickly throws TJP back into the ring and goes for a pin, but only a two count.

TJP hits Tozawa with a Detonation Kick, and pins him 1-2-3 for the win. Winner: TJP
We head backstage where Cedric Alexander is getting ready for his match tonight. Goldust shows up. Alexander says that he is happy that a legend would have his back, but he wanted to know if Goldust was actually under 205 pounds. Goldust said of course not, but with some work he could become a slim Goldust. Goldust then says that he is around to help Alexander on his quest for gold. Some more awkward banter as the two head out to the ring.
Before the next match, Gallagher gets on the mic. He says that last week we learned something new. He says that Itami was supposed to be here to compete, but instead he is here just to hurt people. Gallagher then says that Vic Joseph said Kendrick is out for two months. Gallagher also says that he has watched the footage of Kendrick over and over and could you imagine the holidays being half blind? Gallagher says that he plans on dissecting Itami tonight, which brings out Itami.
Hideo Itami vs. Jack Gallagher: Before the match starts, Gallagher tries to hit Itami with his umbrella. Itami is ready for the attack and lands a couple of strikes, but gets an umbrella on top of his head. A lead pipe falls out of the umbrella and Gallagher uses it against Itami. The referees jump in and demands that Gallagher vacate the ring. He rolls out and makes his way up the ramp, very proud of himself. Winner: No Contest

We head backstage where Dasha Fuentes interviews Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari. She asks them why they demanded a rematch. Daivari says that they weren’t ready and Goldust isn’t even a Cruiserweight. Gulak then says that they weren’t prepared for someone of his stature, but nevertheless they are ready for any challenge. Gulak then goes to dedicate the match to Enzo, but Goldust suddenly shows up and says “Goldust” and breathes heavy on Gulak. Gulak tries to do it back and he makes Goldust gag a bit due to his bad breath.
Goldust & Cedric Alexander vs. Drew Gulak & Ariya Daivari: Daivari and Alexander starts the match. Daivari initially gets the best of Alexander, but that is short lived when Alexander hits a standing hurricanrana on Daivari, Alexander goes for a pin, but only a two count. The crowd chants “We want Goldust” and he comes in. Gulak gets tagged in as well. Goldust does a little bit of chest rubbing on Gulak who rolls away in confusion. He ends up tagging Daivari back. Daivari shouts “Come on, you freak!” to Goldust as he whips Goldust into the ropes and he ends up running side to side multiple times before finally stopping and saying “Hold on!” Gulak gets tagged back in. Goldust tries to fight out of the opposite team’s corner, but he continues to get beat down by both opponents.
Alexander gets tagged back in and he kicks Daivari’s feet out from under him and lands a massive kick to the face. Alexander tries to springboard in, but Daivari catches him in midair with Alexander hitting the top turnbuckle. Daivari continues to keep Alexander down while choking him with his feet in the corner.
