205 Live Results – April 25, 2017: The Neville Level

205 Live
Date: April 25, 2017
Location: Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, Iowa
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Corey Graves

We’re closing in on Payback and that means the upcoming title match is starting to run out of steam. One of the problems with 205 Live is you can only get so much mileage out of a single title match and it seems that we’ve reached that point. Austin Aries vs. Neville is entertaining but they’re running out of things for them to do. Let’s get to it.

We open with a recap of the main feud, which includes TJ Perkins and Jack Gallagher getting involved.

Opening sequence.

The announcers chat for a bit.

Rich Swann/Akira Tozawa vs. Noam Dar/Brian Kendrick

The brawl is on before the bell with the good guys sending them outside for running dives. Swann and Kendrick start things off with Dar kicking Rich’s legs out to take over.  That means it’s time for the arm work with Dar cranking and stomping.

Kendrick grabs a chinlock before doing a midair takedown to stop Swann’s dive to the corner. Swann finally kicks Brian in the face and brings in Tozawa to clean house. With Kendrick being knocked to the floor, Tozawa grabs a Saito suplex on Dar, followed by the Shining Wizard for the pin at 5:24.

Result: Rich Swann/Akira Tozawa b. Noam Dar/Brian Kendrick – Shining Wizard to Dar (5:24)

Tozawa says lesson #4 is always choose wisely, such as picking the right partner.

Neville is ready to destroy Aries on Sunday because everyone must bow to the king.

Tony Nese vs. Mustafa Ali

During the entrances we go back to last week where the Caucasian Drew Gulak held up a sign saying NO FLY ZONE during a match between Ali and Ariya Daivari. Gulak comes out to hold up his sign and join commentary.

Feeling out process to start with Nese running him over and stopping to pose. Ali comes right back with the same thing as we hear about all the unnecessary high risks for the sake of pleasing the audience.

We hit a neck crank on Ali as Gulak analyzes the potential damage it could do.  Mustafa comes back with a Rey Mysterio sitout bulldog and a moonsault press for two. Gulak is VERY displeased because that was so dangerous. The rolling neckbreaker sends Nese to the floor so Ali runs the apron and flips over the corner for another dive. That should set up the inverted 450 but Gulak pulls Nese to the floor for the DQ at 7:28.

Result: Tony Nese b. Mustafa Ali via DQ when Drew Gulak interfered (7:28)

Ali dives on Gulak to get some revenge.

Jack Gallagher vs. Neville

Non-title. Gallagher works a headlock as we hear about Neville not losing a singles match since October. Gallagher kicks the champ in the face to knock him outside but Neville grabs William III and throws it up the ramp. That earns him a rare dive from Jack but the champ comes back in with a missile dropkick.

We hit a headlock on the mat before Neville just stands on Jack’s head. Gallagher gets in a headbutt and a dropkick but Neville nips up. He shouts at Gallagher, earning himself one heck of a headbutt for two. Jack can’t get in a belly to back superplex though as Neville palm strikes him in the face. Some kicks to the back of the head send Jack into the buckle, followed by the Rings of Saturn for the tap at 10:49.

Result: Neville b. Jack Gallagher – Rings of Saturn (10:49)

Gentleman Jack Gallagher vs. Neville: WWE 205 Live, April 25, 2017

Neville puts Gallagher in another Rings of Saturn on the ramp, drawing out Aries for the save to end the show.
