#3. A bad showing for 205 Live

The unfortunate reality is that the current direction of 205 Live isn't anywhere as exciting as last year when Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, and Buddy Murphy were tearing it up. Eventually, Mustafa Ali found himself on SmackDown at the end of the year while Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy "graduated" from 205 Live to RAW and SmackDown Live respectively.

Gutting the brand of its 3 biggest stars meant that Tony Nese had to take the mantle. As a fresh babyface champion, he simply hasn't pulled in the same level of interest and the quality of matches hasn't been all too high.

That was none more so evident than at Money in the Bank when the Cruiserweight Championship was put on the line in a rare main card match.

It turned out to be a bad showing for the 205 Live brand and really wasn't a good way to get casual fans interested in the Cruiserweight show.
