Kanellis looked good as usual, but it also appeared that the match was going the way his matches have usually gone recently. Maria played a much larger role in the finish of the match tonight though, and that made a huge difference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton asks Cedric Alexander about his mindset going into his match tonight. Alexander feels good. He plans to do exactly what he did last year: win the tournament and go to Wrestlemania.<\/p>\n<p>Buddy Murphy and Tony Nese walk up. Nese says he&#8217;s better than he&#8217;s ever been, but Alexander is still the same as always. Alexander says he never needed to become the champ&#8217;s sidekick to get close to the title. Nese says he is no one&#8217;s side kick. Murphy reminds Alexander about how many times he&#8217;s beaten Alexander.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander wonders would happen if Nese did challenge Murphy for the title. Things get awkward between Nese and Murphy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Cruiserweight Title Number One Contender Tournament Final Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Tony Nese vs Cedric Alexander<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Ryan Tran)<\/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_69e73c6249399','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_69e73c6249399\" 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_69e73c6249399\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Tony Nese wins via pinfall after a running knee strike in the corner<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 22:21<\/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 \/>\nGreat match. They gave Nese and Alexander plenty of time for this match, so they were able to slowly build up the intensity as it went along. The pace gradually picked up, and moves began to get bigger and more sudden. The final few minutes of the match were really great. This was a huge match for Nese, and he and Alexander both made it memorable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Cedric Alexander shakes Tony Nese&#8217;s hand. Alexander leaves, and Nese celebrates.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, Buddy Murphy heads to the ring. Murphy hugs nese and holds his hand in the air. Murphy points to the Wrestlemania sign, and when Nese turns away from Murphy to look at the sign as well, Murphy attacks Nese from behind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nA good show with a great main event. I&#8217;m sad that Alexander won&#8217;t be heading back to Wrestlemania, but I can&#8217;t help but feel happy for Nese. It&#8217;s going to be a great match.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Alexander vs Nese<\/strong><br \/>\nA great end to another great cruiserweight tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwe-205-live\/2019-03-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwe-205-live\/2019-03-19<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A contender for the Cruiserweight Title is named in the finals of the Wrestlemania tournament, and Mike Kanellis is given one last opportunity to prove himself to Drake Maverick in a good episode of 205 Live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1128,297,622],"tags":[1129,476,892,1681,915,786,546,1878,536,1547,1680,1149,589,1532,638,693,906,1365,7,1051,2408,2429],"class_list":["post-4854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-205-live","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-205-live","tag-aiden-english","tag-akira-tozawa","tag-bankers-life-fieldhouse","tag-buddy-murphy","tag-cedric-alexander","tag-danilo-anfibio","tag-drake-maverick","tag-greg-hamilton","tag-indiana","tag-indianapolis-in","tag-kayla-braxton","tag-maria-kanellis","tag-mike-kanellis","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-ryan-tran","tag-tony-nese","tag-vic-joseph","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-cruiserweight-title-number-one-contender-match","tag-wwe-cruiserweight-title-number-one-contender-tournament","tag-wwe-cruiserweight-title-number-one-contender-tournament-final-match"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4854","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=4854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4856,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4854\/revisions\/4856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
