Maybe unsurprisingly, aside from some strikes exchanges early in the match, Itami and Kendrick mostly kept away from each other. I would think they&#8217;re saving that rivalry for later, because it looks like Itami might have some other things going on right now. There was some miscommunication between Tozawa and Itami (mostly on Itami&#8217;s part) that led to some problems and some anger for them. The problems with Itami and Tozawa added to an already entertaining match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrew Gulak talks about Kalisto squandering opportunity at the Cruiserweight Title after barely squeaking by himself last week.

Gulak controlled a large part of this match. He kept Kalisto grounded with some unique holds. Kaslito managed to work up to a burst of offense late in the match, but Gulak figured out ways of staying in the match long enough to go back to what he does best. Gulak might be becoming the MVP of 205 Live.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was another good show. This definitely felt like a show that was trying to start a lot of story lines and feuds. As with other WWE shows, the buildup to April is now behind us, and we&#8217;re heading into summer with some new directions. I like it so far.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Kalisto vs Drew Gulak<\/strong><br \/>\nI really like how this played out.
