I have to wonder why this wasn&#8217;t the main event tonight. The first two falls in this match were good, but the final fall got very good. Both men hit some huge moves and kept kicking out of what could have easily been good finishes. I kind of hope this feud is over, because that was a great finish to it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today, Apollo Crews asked Akira Tozawa how his shoulder is. Tozawa says he&#8217;s fine. Crews doesn&#8217;t buy it, and he explains that Titus was just looking out for his safety when he stopped Tozawa&#8217;s match against Daivari on RAW. Tozawa still seems upset, but he at least hears what Crews is saying.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Brian Kendrick heads to the ring for a match against Devin Bennett. Bennett happens to be from Manchester, which causes Kendrick to get on the mic so he can talk about Jack Gallagher. Kendrick says Gallagher is considered a clown in America. He also suggests that Bennett should walk away rather than face Kendrick in the ring, and Jack Gallagher should do the same.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>The Brian Kendrick vs Devin Bennett<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Jason Ayers)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e60348c8bdf','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e60348c8bdf\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e60348c8bdf\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: The Brian Kendrick wins via submission with the Captain&#8217;s Hook<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 1:46<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was a squash, but it was an alright part of Kendrick&#8217;s ongoing feud with Gallagher.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nLast week on 205 Live, Cedric Alexander made Noam Dar say &#8220;I quit,&#8221; and Noam Dar quit his relationship with Alicia Fox.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDasha Fuentes welcomes TJP.

He says that there is no place better to wrestle than in his home country of Iran. He gives an example of a great Iranian wrestler, Emam-Ali Habibi who defeated a Japanese man for his first gold medal. Tonight, Daivari starts his journey to becoming the next great Iranian champion by defeating Akira Tozawa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Ariya Daivari vs Akira Tozawa<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Charles Robinson)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e60348c8c1a','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e60348c8c1a\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e60348c8c1a\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Akira Tozawa wins via pinfall with a roll-up <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 8:21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Daivari was selling his shoulder injury throughout the match, and Daivari went after his shoulder almost exclusively (much like he did in the RAW match). With no one to stop the match, Tozawa had to persevere, which he did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Daivari runs Tozawa shoulder-first into the ring post.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a good show, but the 2 out of 3 falls match should have been the main event.
