TJP came out to start 205 Live, yet again claiming that he deserved to challenge Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight Championship. He also talked trash about his opponent, Noam Dar, before calling him handsome for some reason.
As the match began, TJP attempted to sneak up behind Dar as he took off his jacket. However, the Scottish Supernova was too quick for the CruiserGreat, almost connecting with another flying kick. TJP made his way outside the ring, but Dar followed, throwing him back inside before the two men began trading submission maneuvers.
TJP hung Dar up in the ropes, before connecting with a dropkick from the top turnbuckle to the outside. TJP then forced his opponent into the corner, landing multiple uppercuts. Dar attempted to fight back, but TJP forced him to the ground with another uppercut, followed by a body slam and tope atomico.. Getting a two-count, TJP forced Dar into a double wrist lock suplex followed by a wrist lock.
Dar reached the ropes, and both men traded shots before Dar attempted a roll-up. TJP broke out, first putting him into an armbar before hitting a brutal arm breaker on the Scottish Supernova. The CruiserGreat kept Dar on the mat with a suplex/back suplex combo, followed by a leg/wrist lock. Dar rolled TJP up, forcing the former champion to break the holds. TJP attempted a cross body, but Dar evaded.
Noam Dar prevented TJP from getting to the top rope, then hit a throat chop, chest chop, European uppercut combination followed up with a northern lights suplex for a two-count.

Dar escaped once again but was tossed into the ropes. TJP went for another dropkick to the outside, but Dar evaded, knocking him to the outside. The two fought outside, but TJP took out Dar's knee, which he'd been working on throughout the match.
As Dar pleaded for the ref to not call off the match, the CruiserGreat took him down with a vicious chop block followed by a few stomps to his knee. He then set Dar up near the edge of the ring, using the ropes for an intense single leg Boston crab.
He broke up the hold before he was disqualified, but would lock in the Figure Four Deathlock for the submission victory.

After beating Dar and avenging his loss, TJP believed he proved that Noam Dar's victory over him a few weeks ago was a fluke.
Another video recap was shown of last week's main event between Hideo Itami and Cedric Alexander.
We were shown another highlight package of the Mustafa Ali/Buddy Murphy match from two weeks ago. Ali stated that he will continue his crusade until he becomes Cruiserweight Champion.

A recap of last week's matchup between Tony Nese and Kalisto was shown, as the commentary team went over Buddy Murphy's anger problems. Before the match could finish, Murphy would beat down Kalisto, causing a disqualification loss for Tony Nese.
Murphy and Nese were interviewed backstage by Dasha Fuentes, and Murphy claimed that Lucha House Party were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Juggernaut went on to say that his only regret from last week is that the Premier Athlete lost his chance to prove to the world the kind of athlete he really is.
Nese said that it was fine, as he will challenge Kalisto to another match next week, with nobody allowed at ringside this time.
Main event time, as Lio Rush and Akira Tozawa, looked to outshine one another. Drake Maverick had kept an eye on the ring during the entirety of 205 Live, so it's possible that the winner of this match could get a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship in the future.
Lio Rush vs Akira Tozawa
Lio Rush faced his first real challenge tonight as he took on the former champion Akira Tozawa. The M.O.T.H. toyed with Akira Tozawa, teasing a lock-up at the beginning of the match, successfully getting under his skin. Rush then used his speed to get around Tozawa's offense before flooring him with a rope assisted hurricanrana.
Rush sat atop the ropes to tease Tozawa, who then chased Rush around the ring. Rush attempted to catch him as he got back in the ring, but Tozawa countered a roll-up into a stiff kick to the chest followed by a senton. Tozawa then sat atop the ropes, mocking Rush.

However, when he attempted the Senton Bomb again, Rush knocked him off the ropes, with Tozawa's head and neck slamming on top of the turnbuckle. Rush then connected with the high angle frog splash for the victory.
