As we continued to roll into the new year, 205 Live was graced with a new face. Some would say...a "mmmGorgeous" face. Tonight, Tyler Breeze made his debut on the Purple Brand, facing off against former Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese.
We kicked off the night with Isaiah "Swerve" Scott taking on former Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush. Both men are very similar, both in style and personality. So this was set up to be one incredible match. After all, Rush and Scott never disappoint.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Both Rush and Swerve avoid each other's signature maneuvers early on, with both Superstars trying to pick up a quick victory. Scott was able to match Rush's speed, which is an impressive feat, to say the least.
Rush is able to escape a wristlock by flipping off of the ropes. Ending up on the apron, Rush moonsaults backwards to avoid a dive. Both men land on their feet in an incredible moment! Before they can continue, the Sing Brothers appear on the stage.
The Singhs try to steal the show, but are taken out by Rush and Scott who then challenge the Bollywood Award Winners to a tag team match.
Results: No Contest
It was announced that Drake Maverick had made the decision to make the match official, much to the chagrin of the Bollywood Boys.

Scott chases Sunil Singh, bringing him from the ramp to the ring. Rush tagged in and the two connect with a pop-up body splash for a near fall early on.

We saw some highlights of Jack Gallagher's breakdown a few months back. Following a series of losses, the Gentleman went crazy and tore ringside apart.
When several officials and 205 Live GM Drake Maverick rushed the ring to stop him, he met Maverick with a headbutt, knocking him out.
Gallagher has been suspended for two months. However, as of tonight, Gallagher's suspension has been lifted and he may return to 205 Live whenever he's ready.
Tyler Breeze vs Tony Nese
Tony Nese ran through Tyler Breeze with a shoulder tackle, but Breeze responded with a beautiful standing dropkick. A slingshot saw Nese bounce face-first off the turnbuckle. Nese was caught with a double leg takedown and rolled right into the single-leg crab.
Nese was able to break the hold with the ropes but was knocked over the ropes with a clothesline, sending him crashing to the floor. However, the Premier Athlete was able to get back in the match by bouncing Breeze's head off the apron.
Nese stomped Breeze out in the corner and hit his iconic pose in the middle of the ring. Breeze took the opportunity for a schoolboy, then an inside cradle. The sunset flip was countered with a spinning hook kick, nearly taking Prince Pretty's head off.
Breeze escaped a pump handle slam and backdrop, sending Nese to the floor with an enziguri. His comeback was short lived as Breeze was met mid-dive with a kick to the head. Back inside, Nese earned another close call.
A straight jacket backbreaker to Nese put Breeze back in the match. A cheeky nando's kick gave him a two-count. Nese caught Breeze with a dirty shot to the throat, and followed up with a double jump apron springboard moonsault. Breeze still kicked out.
Nese caught a flying knee but responded with a kip-up dropkick, laying Breeze out in the corner. The Running Nese didn't connect as Breeze countered with a superkick. Nese did manage to fall outside, preventing a pinfall.
Breeze would manage to pin Nese with another roll-up.
Results: Tyler Breeze defeated Tony Nese via pinfall.
