Tozawa seemed to be the more level-headed person between him and Kendrick. Tozawa went about his business, but Kendrick got in trouble because he was angry. Gulak and Gallagher took advantage of Kendrick&#8217;s anger and dominated a lot of the match. Tozawa started to turn things around, but the mistrust between Kendrick and Tozawa cost them in the end. This was a good story line match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today, Drake Maverick oversaw the weigh-in for Buddy Murphy and Mustafa Ali.

There was a lot of uncertainty in regards to Alexander&#8217;s state of mind (and chances of winning) going into this match, so right away there was a lot of intrigue here. Lio Rush was confident as always, and he frustrated Alexander quite a lot early in the match. His anger seemed to drive him forward as the match went along, and Alexander began to try to beat Rush at his own (speed) game. That led to some really great, fast sequences of counters and reversals. Alexander also had the size advantage, and he used that with some heavy strikes in the match. The whole match was very good, but the last few minutes were great. This was a great match for both guys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMustafa Ali says that Buddy Murphy will have to go to Hell and back in their battle for the Cruiserweight Title.

Still, I don&#8217;t really care that much, because this combination of wrestlers is going to create very good matches regardless of the story.<\/p>\n<p>And yeah, Rush and Alexander was as good as I was hoping it would be.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Lio Rush vs Cedric Alexander<\/strong><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t wait to see this matchup again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results:?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwe-205-live\/2018-11-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwe-205-live\/2018-11-14<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lio Rush attempts to take advantage of Cedric Alexander&#8217;s recent slump in a great main event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1128,297,622],"tags":[1129,1049,892,980,915,786,493,546,668,1878,903,2278,536,932,516,526,2280,891,966,1926,589,2279,1526,890,638,1130,464,1525,1365,7],"class_list":["post-4252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-205-live","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-205-live","tag-adam-pearce","tag-akira-tozawa","tag-brian-kendrick","tag-buddy-murphy","tag-cedric-alexander","tag-charles-robinson","tag-danilo-anfibio","tag-dasha-fuentes","tag-drake-maverick","tag-drew-gulak","tag-enterprise-center","tag-greg-hamilton","tag-jack-gallagher","tag-jason-ayers","tag-kalisto","tag-kraig-keesaman","tag-lince-dorado","tag-lio-rush","tag-lucha-house-party","tag-maria-kanellis","tag-mike-karma","tag-missouri","tag-mustafa-ali","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-percy-watson","tag-rod-zapata","tag-st-louis-mo","tag-vic-joseph","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4252"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4258,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252\/revisions\/4258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
