205 Live
Date: June 5, 2020
Location: WWE Performance Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Corey Graves, Byron Saxton

We have a new Cruiserweight Champion and they may have already forgotten the Interim part. I’m not sure where the title or the division is going at the moment, but it doesn’t seem to be something that is going to be taking place around here. There’s something interesting about the fact that all of the shows are being taped in the same place and we never see the champion, or anything of importance around here. Let’s get to it.

Opening sequence.

Oney Lorcan vs. Tehuti Miles

Danny Burch is here with Lorcan, who takes Miles down into a headscissors to start. Back up and Lorcan chops away, only to get caught in a spinning flapjack. The running crotch attack to the back of Lorcan’s head sets up some elbow drops….and an adjustment of Miles’ hair. A neckbreaker gives Miles two and we hit the armbar. That’s broken up and Lorcan starts getting annoyed, meaning the chops are on again. Miles grabs a rollup with trunks so Burch shouts about the cheating. That has Miles yelling at him, allowing Lorcan to grab a rollup for the pin at 7:49.

Result: Oney Lorcan b. Tehuti Miles – Rollup (7:49)

Try the other one:

We look at Isaiah Scott pinning Tony Nese on NXT despite Jack Gallagher’s distraction.

Isaiah Scott vs. Jack Gallagher

They circle each other to start with Scott taking him to the mat and not being able to do much there. Scott spins him down into a short armscissors and then dropkicks him into the corner. The middle rope elbow to the back gets two but Gallagher is back up with a whip into the post.

Gallagher starts striking away but gets caught with a quick House Call to the floor. The rolling Downward Spiral gives Scott two, only to get pulled into the guillotine. That’s countered with a brainbuster but Gallagher countered a belly to back superplex into a crossbody for two more. Gallagher goes for the armbar, which Scott quickly reverses into a rollup for the pin at 7:38.

Result: Isaiah Scott b. Jack Gallagher – Rollup (7:38)

The confidence is coming:

Post match Tony Nese comes out and sends Scott into the steps, much to Gallagher’s confusion.

From NXT.

Interim Cruiserweight Title: El Hijo de Fantasma vs. Drake Maverick

For the vacant title and Maverick’s job is pretty much on the line. They shake hands to start and Fantasma rolls him up for a quick two. That freaks Drake out a bit so it’s off to a slightly safer hammerlock. Fantasma is right back up so they circle each other in a standoff. An armbar takes Drake down and Fantasma gets a rollup for two more. Back up and Maverick grabs a headscissors to put Fantasma on the floor. A Cannonball off the apron takes Fantasma down again and we take a break.

Back with Maverick hitting a middle rope dropkick to put Fantasma on the floor again but this time he powerbombs Maverick on the outside. They head back inside with Fantasma grabbing a surfboard but Maverick slips out and hits a running kick in the corner. Fantasma pulls him into a Boston crab, followed by an ugly sitout powerbomb for two more. That’s enough to fire Maverick up but Fantasma forearms him in the back to take care of that again.

This time Maverick unloads in the corner and drops the top rope elbow for two more. They fight up top again with Fantasma being knocked to the floor. Cue the masked men from the parking lot but Maverick dives onto both of them. Back in and Fantasma hits a quick superkick into the Phantom Driver for the pin and the title at 15:02.

Result: El Hijo del Fantasma b. Drake Maverick – Phantom Driver (15:02)

Post match Fantasma celebrates while Maverick sits in the ring. He thanks everyone for what happened, gets the hero’s sendoff…..and here’s HHH with the contract for Maverick to end the show.

That’s a cool moment:
