Lmaooo so the full match was short af but oh man that was bad

Other two tags were fine, pretty basic and i expected more from the main event

Lash Legend’s second WWE match reportedly did not go so well.

The December 17 edition of WWE 205 Live featured Legend going up against Sarray, who won the bout. This was Legend’s second match as she defeated Amari Miller the week before in her debut.

The Legend vs. Sarray match received significant criticism for being one of the worst WWE TV matches in some time, but now the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the match had to be heavily edited before it made it to TV.

It was noted that this was one of WWE’s most-edited matches. The bout was cut down to 3 minutes of “highlights” and still in that form it was described as the worst WWE TV match this year. Legend is being blamed for the match.

Legend, who has hosted the “Lashing Out with Lash Legend” segments on WWE NXT TV, played college basketball and then briefly played with the WNBA before getting into pro wrestling, and would be one of the most accomplished female athletes on the roster. WWE likely put Legend with Sarray because she is one of the best pro wrestlers in the NXT women’s division.

WWE 205 Live preview: Chen and Anthony primed for high-stakes showdown
Full 205 Live preview for Dec. 31, 2021, featuring Dante Chen and Draco Anthony going toe-to-toe in a battle of promising rookies, Edris Enofé battling Guru Raaj in a fast-paced thriller, and fan favorite Amari Miller slugging it out with the debuting Nikkita Lyons.

Chen to battle Anthony on exciting New Year’s Eve edition of 205 Live

A special New Year’s Eve edition of 205 Live will feature a trio of thrilling singles matches, as Dante Chen and Draco Anthony will lock horns, Edris Enofé is set to tangle with Guru Raaj, and Amari Miller will collide with newcomer Nikkita Lyons.

Competing for the first time since September due to a knee injury, Chen will need to shake off the ring rust in a hurry when he is opposed by an equally promising rookie in Draco. Chen quickly turned heads prior to landing on the shelf, and he now returns to a 2-0 record after picking up one solo win on NXT 2.0 and another on the purple brand.

Anthony has quickly established himself as a Superstar to watch on 205 Live as well, going toe-to-toe with the likes of Boa and NXT Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong, and a main event victory will be significant for whomever emerges triumphant between Chen and Anthony.

Speaking of promising rookies, Enofé and Raaj are set to collide in a matchup that could very well divide the WWE Universe, as each has proven popular while competing across NXT 2.0 and 205 Live.

In addition to taking Finn Bálor to the limit at WWE Superstar Spectacle in January, Raaj has also looked ripe for a breakout in clashes with Superstars such as Harland and Andre Chase. Enofé, meanwhile, is fresh off a stunning upset victory over Von Wanger on NXT 2.0.

Eagerly participating in singles matches as well as the tag team ranks, Miller has experienced her ups and downs since joining the revamped 205 Live, and she’ll now seek a crucial win against Lyons. Primed for her WWE debut, Lyons is undoubtedly hungry for an immediate statement win.

Ring in the new year with a can’t-miss episode of 205 Live, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!​

WWE 205 Live preview: Jiro and Feng primed for high-stakes collision
Full 205 Live preview for Jan. 7, 2021, featuring Ikemen Jiro going toe-to-toe with Ru Feng in a thriller, Malik Blade seeking his first win against Draco Anthony, and Erica Yan colliding with Nikkita Lyons.
Jiro and Feng primed for edge-of-your-seat thriller on 205 Live
A can’t-miss edition of 205 Live is set to feature a trio of exciting singles matches, as Ikemen Jiro and Ru Feng lock horns, Malik Blade takes on Draco Anthony, and Erica Yan tangles with Nikkita Lyons.

Whether flying solo or competing in the tag team ranks alongside partner Kushida, Jiro has captured the imagination of the WWE Universe inside the NXT Arena, who seemingly can’t get enough of the eccentric competitor.

Jiro, however, hasn’t had a singles match since October, and he’ll immediately be tested by Feng. An impressive newcomer who boasts a wide range of blistering strikes, Feng has already competed on NXT 2.0 and 205 Live in some memorable bouts against the likes of Solo Sikoa, Cameron Grimes and Roderick Strong.

The stage is also set for a clash of high-flying rookies, as Blade tangles with Anthony. Blade has established himself as a Superstar to watch in recent collisions against Von Wagner and Sikoa, while Anthony has already slugged it out with Dante Chen and Boa less than two months into his WWE career.

Yan, who recently came up just short while tagging with Fallon Henley against Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon, seeks a critical victory against Lyons. Lyons lost a back-and-forth battle with Amari Miller in her debut match last week, but the hard-hitting newcomer is hungry to start 2022 by entering the win column for the first time.

Tune in for a thrilling episode of the purple brand on Friday at 10/9 C, streaming on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network elsewhere!​

WWE 205 Live preview: Feroz and Nile seek critical win in heated collision
Full 205 Live preview for Jan. 14, 2022, featuring Valentina Feroz squaring up with Ivy Nile in a spirited collision, Andre Chase addressing the WWE Universe, and Guru Raaj competing in a singles bout.

Feroz and Nile to slug it out on 205 Live
A thrilling edition of 205 Live will feature Valentina Feroz squaring up with Ivy Nile in a spirited collision, Andre Chase addressing the WWE Universe, and Guru Raaj competing in a singles bout.

Fan favorite Feroz is perhaps in for the fight of her life when she tangles with the no-nonsense Nile. In her last match, Feroz paired up with Yulisa Leon for a hard-earned tag team win against Erica Yan and Fallon Henley.

The undefeated Nile, however, has steamrolled her opponents more often than not since bursting onto the scene in October as part of Diamond Mine, notching a win over Feroz herself in her debut match.

Plus, Chase is set to address the WWE Universe and issue his latest teachable moment, and he is certain to discuss the recent attacks by Harland and Von Wagner that have put his prized student at risk and rocked Andre Chase University to its core.

​

Finally, Raaj is primed for singles competition. Raaj recently came up just short against Edris Enofé in a barnburner of a match on the New Year’s Even edition of 205 Live.
