It was previously reported that WWE announced that last night's episode of 205 Live will see two huge matches take place as Josh Briggs and Odyssey Jones, two of the biggest competitors in NXT's Breakout Tournament, are set to make their WWE in-ring debuts. The first match saw 6’8″ Josh Briggs face Asher Hale and walk out of the match with a huge win, while the second match saw 405-pound Odyssey Jones go up against Grayson Waller, who had an undefeated 3-0 win-loss record and secure the win.
These two matches were reportedly made due to Josh Briggs and Odyssey Jones requesting the matches as they prepare to compete in the 2021 NXT Breakout Tournament. According to the official preview of WWE for 205 Live, Briggs is the tallest competitor, while Jones is the heaviest. This year's NXT Breakout Tournament is set to begin this coming Tuesday, July 13th on NXT.
