WWE 205 Live Preview : Quick Hits
Can Buddy Murphy & Tony Nese overcome The Lucha House Party’s specialty?
The rivalry between Buddy Murphy & Tony Nese and The Lucha House Party has been bitter and competitive and continues to boil over. Two weeks ago, Nese and Murphy picked up a victory against Kalisto & Lince Dorado in tag team action, as The Juggernaut of WWE 205 Live earned retribution for his loss to Kalisto the week prior.
WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick has presented Murphy and Nese with the ultimate opportunity to prove they are better than The Lucha House Party by battling the lucha brothers in one of their specialty bouts – a Tornado Tag Team Match.
Murphy and Nese need to use their power and agility to counter the uncanny speed and teamwork of The Lucha House Party if they have any hopes of victory. With no tags and Superstars from both teams legal at all times, the WWE Universe is sure to witness as fast-paced, action-packed brawl.
Noam Dar and TJP battle in a rubber match
Last month, Noam Dar made an incredible return to WWE 205 Live, answering TJP’s call for better competition. While The Cruisergreat’s request for a formidable opponent was answered, he was defeated by Dar in record time, proving The Scottish Supernova was back and better than ever.
Despite the result, TJP and Dar would battle again two weeks later. This time, the inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Champion was prepared and targeted the same knee that sidelined Dar for months. Despite his attempts to battle through the pain, The Scottish Supernova succumbed to The Cruisergreat’s patented kneebar.
With each Superstar scoring one victory against the other, WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick wants to ensure that TJP and Noam Dar have the chance to show who is the better competitor. As a result, The Cruisergreat and The Scottish Supernova will square off in a rubber match tonight! Don’t miss WWE 205 Live at 10/9 C, streaming on the award-winning WWE Network.
