#2. Buddy Murphy vs. Akira Tozawa

Pre-show purgatory
Pre-show purgatory

The fact that one of the best matches on the card is shunted to the pre-show where the audience is still filing in should be lamented but isn't surprising. That's as far as 205 Live goes, despite the routine clinics that the purple brand puts on. Akira Tozawa has had a lot of good matches in recent weeks and Buddy Murphy is always dependable to put on a show-stealer. That's why he's the Cruiserweight Champion, after all.

Tozawa vs. Murphy is a fresh matchup, too.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

There's no chance that Murphy loses his championship here, but he shouldn't be losing it, anyway. This predictability shouldn't mar the match too much. We can expect a blistering pace between these two, with stiff attacks exchanged until one of them wins the war of attrition.

This match might well steal the show. Cruiserweight title matches often get into that territory.
