Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to another edition of 205 Live from the Capitol Wrestling Center. Ashante "Thee" Adonis makes his way to the ring for our opening contest. He'll be taking on Mansoor, who has still yet to take a pinfall loss since joining the cruiserweight division. This match was announced earlier via WWE's social media channels.

Nese lands his signature springboard moonsault for a nearfall. Daivari sends Grety to the outside, then follows him out to bash his head off the commentary table.
