Goodnight, Johnathon Pierce. We hardily knew ye.

I still love Nese's running knee in the corner. Such an impact.

 

[Smart Marx]

Buddy Murphy is here and the secret is out.

 

[Jimmy King]

Buddy's music

Should be a solid match.

 

[Deezy]

Nobody named Buddy has amounted to shut since Buddy Rogers.

Fact....dude made his ceiling with that name alone.

a 205 chant

 

[Smart Marx]

Hearing a "this is awesome" chant on 205.

Good job, Murphy and Kalisto.

 

[Smart Marx]

That running apron suplex was nuts.

 

[Jimmy King]

For a guy with the name Buddy, he looked awesome in there with Kalisto.

Great to hear 205 and THIS IS AWESOME chants.

Without even directly saying Drake tells the audience to watch Kickoff because that's where you'll see the CW Title match.

Did anyone actually think it wasn't a Kickoff match?

Only women can get hashtag'd to the main card......equality.

 

[Jimmy King]

I can't wait for Ali and Alexander to tear down the house at Mania. They are gonna steal the show.

You'd be surprised by the amount of bitching and moaning that went on yesterday when the official Kickoff matches were reported. I was certainly not surprised. All 3 Kickoff matches were what I thought they'd be. CW and the two battle royals.

WWE 205 Live preview, April 10, 2018: The Age of Alexander officially begins

Tonight on WWE 205 Live, as The Age of Alexander begins, is WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander up to face any and all new challengers? Plus, Drew Gulak and Mark Andrews battle in a WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament rematch.

Is Drew Gulak too aggressive for Mark Andrews?

Mark Andrews and Drew Gulak were originally scheduled to square off last week on WWE 205 Live, but Gulak asked General Manager Drake Maverick to postpone the match for a week. The reason for Gulak’s unexpected request? He wanted Andrews to fully recover from his grueling contest with Tony Nese that earned him the opportunity to face Gulak.

When Andrew faced Gulak in the quarterfinals of the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, he was met with the same aggression that Gulak used to dominate his friend and frequent tag team partner Tony Nese in the opening round. Winning by applying the torturous Dragon Sleeper, Gulak refused to relinquish the hold until the official intervened. His explanation as to why he maintained the hold was simple – because he can.

Although Andrews is determined to defeat Gulak, the Philadelphia native is poised to inflict the maximum amount of pain upon his opponents. A hardened technical competitor, Gulak will use his in-ring ability to keep the high-fiving and stage-diving Andrews on the defensive and undoubtedly regretting a rematch.

Will Andrews suffer the same fate as before against Gulak, or will he prove he can handle even the most hostile competitors the Cruiserweight division can offer?

Cedric Alexander finally claims the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

After vanquishing Gran Metalik, TJP and Roderick Strong in the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, Cedric Alexander – the soul of WWE 205 Live – battled his close friend, Mustafa Ali – the heart of WWE 205 Live – in the tournament finals on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Following a hard-fought and emotional contest, Alexander emerged victorious, finally claiming the WWE Cruiserweight Championship as his own.

The victory caps off a long journey to the pinnacle of the WWE Cruiserweight division for Alexander, who saw his championship opportunity vanish when the title was held in abeyance before he could challenge for it at Royal Rumble. Despite the setback, Alexander remained focused and let nothing stand in the way of claiming the championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Alexander may not have much time to rest, as WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick wants the best competition for the WWE Universe, and Superstars like Buddy Murphy have their sights set on the championship.

Plus, despite the disappointing setback, Ali certainly proved that he is one of the best Cruiserweights in the world, and he will no doubt want another opportunity to challenge for the title.

What course will The Age of Alexander take WWE 205 Live, and who will step up to challenge the new champion? Find out tonight on WWE 205 Live at 10/9 C on WWE Network!

Showtime taking over for Nigel, wonder where he'll end up now?

Gulak vs Mandrews should be solid
