Colin Delaney been hitting the gas.

Lio's ring gear color scheme, haircut and swagger is giving me Orlando Jordan vibes. I don't know why.

 

[Deezy]

I actually kinda forgot that Noam Dar still worked here.

Alicia Fucks reunion looms.

Lio is certainly playing up the gocky gimmick quite well. And that was an impressive flip kick on the ropes.

Lio Rush giving me RVD vibes......not a compliment.

 

[Smart Marx]

Another frog splash finish though? It was an impressive one though.

Lio Rush giving me RVD vibes......not a compliment.

I can see it. Cocky character and way too worried about his spots.

 

[Smart Marx]

The managers don't need to keep reminding us that they make the matches and then give the wrestlers their match anyway.

 

[Smart Marx]

Not too shabby. I liked that catching lumbar check outta nowhere to win.

 

[Drew]

I’ve actually watched the last few of these. Not too shabby. That hyped up match a couple weeks ago really did deliver.

WWE 205 Live preview, July 17, 2018: Is Lio Rush ready for Akira Tozawa?

Tonight on WWE 205 Live, Lio Rush has an opportunity to prove that he is truly Tthe Man of the Hour when he battles former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa. Plus, TJP seeks retribution against Noam Dar.

Noam Dar returns with a vengeance

After returning from injury and competing during the U.K. Championship Special, Noam Dar has generated a great deal of buzz with a rejuvenated spirit and desire to get back on track. The Scottish Supernova proved he was all business when he returned to WWE 205 Live and quickly silenced inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Champion TJP.

For weeks, The Cruisergreat has been clamoring for greater competition and has lambasted WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick for showing what TJP believed to be a lack of respect. What The Duke of Dab didn’t expect was to be defeated by the retuning Dar in under 30 seconds. As a result, the winner of the first-ever WWE Cruiserweight Classic requested a rematch to prove that his defeat was just a fluke.

Can The Man of the Hour topple The Stamina Monster?

Two weeks ago on WWE 205 Live, Lio Rush made his way to ringside to observe Akira Tozawa in action. Following The Stamina Monster’s victory, Rush first praised Tozawa before changing tune and questioning what the former Cruiserweight Champion was doing with himself. Last week, Tozawa returned the favor, observing Rush in action against Colin Delaney before asking The Man of the Hour what he had accomplished and if he really wanted to face Tozawa.

An individual with a penchant for action, WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick made the match official for tonight! Since arriving in the Cruiserweight division, Lio Rush has shown tremendous confidence, but he will face his first major challenge as he goes one-on-one with the hard-hitting Akira Tozawa.

Will the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion put an end to Rush Hour, or will Rush prove he is everything he claims to be?

Find out tonight at 10/9 C on WWE 205 Live on the award-winning WWE Network!

Excited for tonight’s show. Rush vs Tozawa should be great and Dar vs TJP should be fun.

 

[Smart Marx]

Last week wasn't too shabby. I might be in here tonight for this.

 

[Smart Marx]

TJP still got that video game geek intro on his theme song?

 

[Jimmy King]

I love that TJP refers to himself as the "Cruiser Great", he is great and underrated.
