Over the past few months, 205 Live has been under siege by Brian Kendrick and Ariya Daivari, two men who consider themselves to be the true "205 Live Originals". The duo has been running roughshod over the division since joining forces back in early January.
Raul Mendoza has been incredibly impressive on both 205 Live and NXT but has rarely picked up any wins. In fact, he's struggled to get many in his WWE career. Tonight, he faced one of his old opponents in Joaquin Wilde, hoping to finally get on track.
Joaquin Wilde vs Raul Mendoza
Mendoza was taken out by Wilde after a series of arm drags and a springboard back elbow, forcing him to the outside. After recovering, he moved back in to tie up with Wilde again. A big springboard dropkick sent the former DJ to the floor. A rolling senton bowled Wilde over.

Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch vs Ariya Daivari & Brian Kendrick
This No Disqualification Match didn't take long to start off. As Daivari and Kendrick made their entrance, Lorcan and Burch rushed them. Daivari dumped Lorcan to the concrete floor off the stage, making it a two-on-one situation against Burch.
Lorcan quickly returned to the fray, leading to two separate brawls between the competitors. Daivari rolled Lorcan inside the ring, officially starting the match. Burch hammered Kendrick with strong rights and elbows in the crowd while Lorcan and Daivari took turns tossing one another into the barricade. A hip toss sent Daivari over it, landing on Kendrick.
Burch and Lorcan took Kendrick inside, but they were quickly halted by Ariya Daivari and his steel chair. Burch sent Daivari into a set up chair with a drop toe hold, following up with a missile dropkick. A "Get the Tables" chant forced Burch and Lorcan to be possessed by the souls of Bubba Ray and Devon, as they brought a table around ringside.
The table was set up, but Lorcan & Burch weren't able to drive Daivari through it, as Kendrick made the save. Instead, the Man with a Plan sent Lorcan through it with a Death Valley Driver!
Daivari pulled out a ladder and tossed both it and Danny Burch inside. The ladder was hung up on the top turnbuckle, but Burch managed to turn things around and send Daivari face first into it. Burch set it up and motioned for a 450 Splash.
Kendrick prevented it, bringing Burch down off the ladder with a side Russian leg sweep. Daivari followed up with a Persian Lion Splash from the top rope! However, Lorcan barely broke it up.
Lorcan was left with Kendrick as the only two men standing, as Burch and Daivari were struggling to move after the splash from the ladder. Kendrick's strikes only angered the Star Destroyer, who lit up the former Cruiserweight Champion with chops and a nasty running uppercut. Before he could follow up, Daivari took a chair to his gut.
Kendrick and Daivari went for a double brainbuster on the set up chair, but Burch fought them off. Lorcan rushed in, delivering a nasty running blockbuster to Kendrick on the chair. He followed that up with a dive to the floor, flattening Kendrick and Daivari. Burch duct taped Kendrick's feet to the bottom turnbuckle, John Cena style, and cleared the announcer's desk for Ariya Daivari.
The Elevated Implant DDT spiked Daivari on the table. On the inside, they spiked him again for good measure, putting away Daivari and Kendrick in an epic Street Fight!
Results: Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan defeated Ariya Daivari & The Brian Kendrick via pinfall.
