205 Live preview:

Is The Brian Kendrick a friend or foe to Akira Tozawa?

Last week on WWE 205 Live, Akira Tozawa made his Cruiserweight debut as The Brian Kendrick watched from ringside. After defeating Drew Gulak on Raw Monday night, Tozzawa was confronted by Kendrick after the match. Despite some tension, the former Cruiserweight Champion extended a hand of friendship and congratulated Tozawa on his victory.

What is Kendrick’s motive in his approach to the Japanese Superstar? The Man with a Plan has made it known that he has an animosity toward young Superstars he considers unworthy, but he no doubt seems impressed by Tozawa. Is Kendrick hoping to forge a new alliance and take Tozawa under his wing, or is it all part of a scheme to make the Japanese sensation ultimately regret coming to the Cruiserweight division?


Who will challenge Neville for the Cruiserweight Championship?

Sidelined with an injury, Rich Swann is unable to invoke his rematch clause and challenge Neville in an attempt to reclaim the Cruiserweight Championship. Given such circumstances, a new No. 1 contender must be named. During an interview with Austin Aries last night on Raw, The King of the Cruiserweights came face-to-face with the five competitors vying for an opportunity to challenge for his crown – and not one of them was willing to back down.

Tonight on WWE 205 Live, TJ Perkins, Cedric Alexander, Noam Dar, Tony Nese and Gentleman Jack Gallagher will square off in a Fatal 5-Way Match to determine the No. 1 contender to the Cruiserweight Championship. With no shortage of eager challengers, the winner will challenge Neville at WWE Fastlane.

Who will emerge victorious as the new No. 1 contender to the Cruiserweight Championship?

[LionDen]

Not a bad show. Surprised by Gallaghers win.
