WWE 205 Live Results: February 7, 2018

Ahead of his match later in the night, we were shown a video package on Roderick Strong detailing his upbringing. Going from the NXT man speaking about his perfect upbringing to admitting his parents' problems with drugs and alcohol, and showing a news clipping saying his mother shot his father in the chest.

The video then shows Strong in-ring with him saying he is leaving it all in the ring and is willing to risk it all because he isn't just doing it for him, he's doing it for his family.

After a break, Drake Maverick invited Drew Gulak and Tony Neese into his office. He slates Drew Gulak for losing his rough edges and becoming a "goof" before addressing Neese, "I don't know what you're laughing at, Muscles" before saying Neese is the most naturally gifted man on the roster but doesn't use it. "We get it, you've got abs!" Being the quote of the night.

Per #205Live General Manager @WWEMaverick, it will be @DrewGulak vs. @TonyNese NEXT WEEK as part of the @WWE #Cruiserweight Championship tournament! pic.twitter.com/CNhg9rxw3D
