WWE 205 Live Results – July 1 2017
…
As seen at Sunday’s WWE Battleground event, Nakamura won his match against Baron Corbin via disqualification when he was nailed in the crotch by Corbin. PWInsider reports that a rematch is set to take place between the two at tonight’s SmackDown Live Event from Richmond, Virginia.
Speaking of tonight’s tapings, Neville will face Ariya Daivari and Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann will team together to take on the team of Tony Nese & TJP.
Check back here at 8PM ET for our live play-by-play coverage of tonight’s event.
Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!
Tonight’s show features a huge match that aims to settle a very long running feud. Cedric Alexander will battle Noam Dar in an I Quit Match that will likely serve as tonight’s main event.
At Great Balls of Fire, Neville defeated Akira Tozawa to retain the Cruiserweight Championship. The two had a great match that was unfortunately relegated to the kick-off show. Last night on Raw, Neville was pinned by Akira Tozawa in tag team action. The pinfall gives Tozawa a claim to get a rematch against the King for the Cruiserweight Championship, which will likely take place at SummerSlam!
That’s the preview for tonight’s show, which will probably feature more than those two stories. Let us know what you’re excited to see by downloading the Ringside Talk app or the Ringside News app, both of which are free! Enjoy the show!

Neville walks in the back as we go to commercial.
We are back and it is time for the King to come out and address his subjects.
Neville says in two weeks at Great Balls of Fire, he defends his WWE Cruiserweight Title against the next so called challenger. This time, the individual is someone who has been misguided and misled. He does not appreciate the gravity of the situation he has found himself in. The delusional WWE Universe thinks he has a snowball’s chance in hell of beating him. The man he speaks of is the wonder kid Akira Tozawa.
Neville says he is not dealing with the white noise known as Titus O’Neil. He says he sees a little lamb being led to the slaughter. If you like to give lessons Tozawa, the King of the Cruiserweights likes to give warnings. He tells Tozawa not to show up because if you do, you will be slapped in the face with a cold, harsh realization that you do not belong in the ring with him and you do not belong on the Neville Level. You can ask anyone who has been there before and you will get hurt.

Tozawa continues to scream. Neville tells Tozawa to stop while he continues to scream. Tozawa with a series of kicks and Neville goes to the floor. Tozawa continues to AH as we go to credits.
X-Pac opens today’s show congratulating Samoa Joe on his big win at last Sunday’s Extreme Rules PPV. He says that he’s known Joe for a while, and he knew it was only a matter of time before Joe made his way to WWE. Even when Joe was doubting his own ability to get there, X-Pac knew his talent and abilities would eventually land him in WWE.
He thought it was strange that WWE implemented a submission stipulation in the cruiserweight match between Austin Aries and Neville. He says that submission matches often limit the talents’ ability to provide exciting false finishes and in the case of the cruiserweights, it hindered some of the high flying abilities of those two men. Nonetheless, he thought Aries and Neville pulled it off and had a good match.
X-Pac comments on WWE’s recent signing of Thea Trinidad. Trinidad recently played the role of A.J. Lee in the upcoming Paige biopic, and X-Pac thought she was marvellous in that role. He says he wasn’t surprised by this signing at all, and he thinks she’ll start in NXT before making her jump to the main roster.
After his attack on TJP, Neville announced that he would defend his Crusierweight Title against him on tomorrow’s episode of 205 Live.
Here is footage from the attack:
