Match Thoughts
Good match. The finish wasn’t surprising since this was Kanellis’ 205 Live in-ring debut, but I liked how the match went. Kanellis had to take a shortcut or two, but he was mostly competitive with Dorado in this match. I’m looking forward to more from Kanellis.

Match Thoughts
Great match. Both men kept trying to to bigger and more impactful things to their opponent until one of them just couldn’t get back up. This was a lot of fun.
Backstage
Drake Maverick tells Dasha Fuentes that next week Mustafa Ali will face Tony Nese for a chance to challenge Buddy Murphy for the Cruiserweight Title.
