WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick has announced a major main event contest for tonight – Mustafa Ali vs. Buddy Murphy. Plus, Lince Dorado gets an opportunity for redemption against The Brian Kendrick.
Can The Lucha House Party Rebound From Defeat?
Last week on WWE 205 Live, Lince Dorado & Kalisto squared off against The Brian Kendrick & Gentleman Jack Gallagher in a grueling tag team match that highlighted the contrasting styles of the high-flying luchadors and the more aggressive technical abilities of Kendrick & Gallagher. Displaying their resilience and teamwork, Kalisto & The Golden Lynx built up a great deal of momentum late in the contest with victory in their sights until Drew Gulak – watching from the announce table – intervened. Knocking Dorado off the top rope, Gulak allowed The Brian Kendrick to apply his patented Captain’s Hook to secure the win.

With The Lucha House Party seeking retribution for their underhanded defeat, WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick has announced that Dorado & Kendrick will battle in singles competition. While The Golden Lynx will certainly have the support of his lucha brothers in his corner, after Drew Gulak’s actions last week and his apparent alliance with Kendrick & Gallagher, will The Philadelphia Stretcher make his presence felt once again in his quest for a better WWE 205 Live?
Mustafa Ali & Buddy Murphy Vie To Return To Title Contention:
WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick is determined to ensure that WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander has a challenger and has announced that Mustafa Ali & Buddy Murphy will square off in a blockbuster main event. While the match does not guarantee a title opportunity, it allows Murphy & Ali to make their case about why they should earn another chance to challenge for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
Not only are there huge implications for this contest, but the battle also serves as a rubber match between the Superstars. During the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, Ali vanquished Murphy in the quarterfinals before going on to face Alexander for the vacant title at WrestleMania. Last month, however, the Australian Superstar returned the favor and defeated The Heart of WWE 205 Live, convincing Maverick that he deserved a title opportunity.

Although Murphy couldn’t secure the championship and end The Age of Alexander last week, he certainly proved himself to be a formidable challenger and earned the respect of the titleholder after a hard-fought throw-down.
Which Superstar will show Drake Maverick and the WWE Universe that they deserve another chance to claim the coveted WWE Cruiserweight Championship? Don’t miss WWE 205 Live, tonight!
