Gacy clashes with Waller, Jiro takes on Chase on 205 Live​

A loaded edition of 205 Live will feature Joe Gacy slugging it out with Grayson Waller, as well as fan favorite Ikemen Jiro battling Andre Chase.

Jiro to take on Baxter, Waller to battle Chase on 205 Live
A must-see edition of 205 Live is set to feature a pair of exciting singles bouts, as Ikemen Jiro will look to continue his hot streak against Trey Baxter, while Grayson Waller is primed to tangle with Andre Chase.

One of the most popular Superstars on the purple brand, Jiro recently suffered his first defeat on 205 Live, losing to Waller in controversial fashion. The eccentric competitor seemingly didn’t dwell on the setback, however, as evidenced by his decisive win against Chase the following week.

Baxter, who made it to the semifinals of the NXT Breakout Tournament before being eliminated by the colossal Odyssey Jones, is seeking a return to the winner’s circle in what should be a thrilling affair.

Waller has had a bit of an up-and-down tenure ever since coming to 205 Live, winning his first three matches, losing his next four, defeating Jiro, and losing to Joe Gacy. The outspoken competitor never met an opponent that he didn’t like to trash-talk, and that figures to continue when he’s opposed by the hard-hitting Chase.

Chase will be making his third appearance on the purple brand, having defeating Guru Raaj in his debut before dropping a competitive match against Jiro last week.

Don’t miss a thrilling edition of 205 Live, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!​

Jones and Baxter to battle Gacy and Briggs, Feroz to tangle with Cortez on 205 Live
An exciting edition of 205 Live will feature Odyssey Jones and Trey Baxter joining forces to take on Joe Gacy and Josh Briggs, as well as a collision between Valentina Feroz and Katrina Cortez.

Jones, Baxter, Gacy and Briggs all competed in the recent NXT Breakout Tournament, and they’ll all continue to attempt to make a name for themselves in what should be a titanic slugfest.

Briggs and Gacy represent an interesting tandem, as the two heavyweights recently split a pair of slugfests on 205 Live, with each competitor winning one. Perhaps they’ve begun to respect each other after the hard-hitting battles, and now they’ll try their hand as a tag team against Jones and Baxter.

In an impressive run, Jones made it all the way to the finals of the Breakout Tournament before being bested by Carmelo Hayes, but he’ll look to get back on track by forming an intriguing partnership with Baxter.

And speaking of Superstars looking to make a statement, Feroz and Cortez will each seek a critical victory when they square up. Each have competed in some notable matches on NXT, but both will be venturing to the purple brand for the first time.
