A returning Vic Joseph and former cruiserweight champion Drew Gulak welcome us to another edition of 205 Live from the WWE Performance Center. Tehuti Miles makes his way to the ring for our opening contest. He'll be taking on Mansoor in singles-action.

Mansoor versus Tehuti Miles

Miles throws his gear in Mansoor's face at the bell and unloads on him with a flurry of strikes. He stomps Mansoor down in the corner for the early advantage. Hard Irish-whip and Mansoor is down. He shakes off Miles' early offense and hits a big back body drop for an early nearfall. Miles bounces back with a dropkick that sends Mansoor to ringside. Miles keeps the pressure on and sends Mansoor into the barricade, then smashes his face off the plastic glass to protect the wrestlers from fans. Referee's count gets to seven but Miles breaks it and continues his assault. Back in the ring...Miles sends Mansoor right back out and plays to the crowd. Mansoor makes his way back into the ring...Miles continues targeting the midsection with a flapjack and body scissor. Mansoor gets dumped to the apron...he hits a slingshot corkscrew neckbreaker to slow Miles down. Big comeback from Mansoor. Running lariats and a dropkick in succession. Atomic drop/spinebuster combination, which Joseph compliments Mansoor on. He connects with his finisher to beat Miles two weeks in a row.

Backstage cruiserweight champion Santos Escobar is having a drink with Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde. The toast to their first victory together as a faction, then poke fun at Drake Maverick, with Escobar saying he only has a job in WWE because he cried on Twitter.

Clips of Isaiah "Swerve" Scott defeating Tony Nese from three weeks ago is shown. This led to Nese partnering with Swerve to defeat Ever-Rise, and a newfound friendship. However, Swerve clearly still doesn't trust Nese even despite Nese's change in attitude.
