Sterling and Hale to tangle with Nese and Daivari, Waller to debut against Sunil on 205 Live
In what is certain to be a thrilling edition of 205 Live, Ari Sterling and Asher Hale will pair up for a bout against Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari, while Sunil Singh will battle the debuting Grayson Waller.

Sterling, who pulled off a narrow victory against Hale several weeks ago, will now team up with his fellow newcomer to match wits and fists against a pair of common enemies in Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari.

The Premier Athlete and Daivari Dinero have made no bones about their contempt for rookies, and they’ll look to send an emphatic message to the promising newcomers.

Speaking of 205 Live rookies, Waller is primed to make his WWE debut against the veteran Singh.

Waller is seeking a statement victory in his first bout, though he’s certain to be in for a tough test in his first match against the former 24/7 Champion.

Jiro and Nese to collide, Hale and Waller set for slugfest on 205 Live

A must-see edition of 205 Live features a pair of exciting singles bouts, as the eccentric Ikemen Jiro will take on the no-nonsense Tony Nese, while fiery rookie Asher Hale is set to collide with fellow newcomer Grayson Waller.

The Premiere Athlete isn’t fond of rookies in the first place, and since Jiro has a propensity for antics and showmanship while competing, the former Cruiserweight Champion is all but certain to hold his opponent in contempt.

Jiro is still undefeated on the purple brand, teaming with August Grey for a pair of tag team victories against Nese and Ariya Daivari as well as The Bollywood Boyz.

Can he replicate his success in what seems certain to be a heated clash with the self-proclaimed 205 Live OG? And will Jiro and Nese's respective partners, August Grey and Daivari, play a role in the outcome?

Waller’s arrogance was apparent from the second he stepped through the curtain for his debut match against Sunil Singh last week, as he shimmied and smirked his way to the ring and dealt out a healthy dose of trash talk during the match en route to claiming a decisive win against the former 24/7 Champion.

Hale has experienced mixed results since debuting on 205 Live several weeks ago, earning wins over the likes of Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari but also falling to Ari Sterling.

Something has to give, as Waller attempts to go 2-0 while Hale looks to bounce back from last week’s disappointing tag team loss against Nese and Daivari. The bout was highlighted by Hale’s inability (or downright refusal?) to get on the same page with Sterling, his partner of convenience.

So, with the 205 Live roster gutted, how long do we think until it's cancelled

Easy answer would probably just be to look up when the international TV deals for it end lmao

It's already fucked in the US bc it airs live on peacock but isn't available for a replay after until TEN FUCKING DAYS later which was never a thing with the WWE Network so if you don't watch it live you legit have no (other than a watchwrestling) way to watch it lol

Not Vic Joseph saying Ariya Daivari is fighting for job security on a show taped 2 days before he was released

To no one surprise, the video package couldn't be updated in time so it was full of released talent and two of the four wrestlers on the show last night are fired now

 

[Chris]

Grayson Waller has a sports drink with him and is dancing more during his entrance this week @Johnny Tsunami

And he's against August Grey who Vic Joseph just called a 205 Live Veteran
