WWE 205 Live Results (December 13th, 2019): NXT Superstar makes debut, Cruiserweights begin countdown to 2020

Joaquin Wilde impressed the WWE Universe in his 205 Live debut

We were shown a vignette of Joaquin Wilde, one of the eight competitors from the Breakout Tournament in the summer. The Cosmic Superstar was impressive, but a terrible injury left him on the shelf for a few months.

Thankfully, though, he's back and ever than ever, and there's no better spot to place him than on 205 Live.

Joaquin Wilde vs James Tapia

Wilde easily outmaneuvered Tapia, all the while shouting his patented "air horn" noises. A headscissors takedown and a running hurricanrana left Tapia dazed. He avoided an attack in the corner and ascended the turnbuckle.

Tapia tried to slow him down but was instead launched off the second rope with a sunset flip powerbomb. A Codebreaker followed up by the pop-up double boots to the jaw, dubbed the Wilde Thing, was all it took to earn Wilde a victory.

Results: Joaquin Wilde defeated James Tapia via pinfall.

Wilde's speed is reminiscent of former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush. The fast paced striker may pose a threat to Angel Garza's title reign, and it may be sooner rather than later.
