- Tony Nese moved closer to a title shot from WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy by winning tonight's Fatal 5 Way main event on WWE 205 Live. The match also featured Cedric Alexander, TJP, Lio Rush and Gran Metalik. Above is video from the match.

- Mauro Ranallo is not at tonight's WWE NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University. Vic Joseph replaced Mauro, joining Nigel McGuinness and Percy Watson at the announce table.
