Tozawa was ready for this match and was able to avoid and counter a lot of what we&#8217;ve seen Lio Rush do in the last few weeks. Tozawa looked very good, but the speed of Lio Rush is something special. Rush utilized his speed to gain key advantages, and for the first time in 205 Live he showed resilience in the face of a formidable attack. This was a very good match for Rush.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrew Gulak thinks Cedric Alexander has grown complacent.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrew Gulak and Brian Kendrick help Jack Gallgher prepare for his match with the champ.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton asks Drake Maverick about Mustafa Ali&#8217;s condition.

Gallagher showed his considerable technical skills, his painful brutality, and his surprising strength in this match. This was a great test for Alexander, and it made the champ react in new and different ways. It showed a lot of what Alexander can do, and it was a great lead-in for his title match in a few days. It was also a very tough match for him, so it adds tension for Sunday&#8217;s match. Will he be at 100%?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAs Alexander makes his way up the ramp after the match, Brian Kendrick attacks him. The two fight their way back to the ring. With Alexander&#8217;s focus on Kendrick, Drew Gulak attacks Alexander from behind. Gulak applies the GuLock which leaves Cedric down in the center od the ring as the show ends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI liked this show.
