WWE 205 Live Results (June 19th, 2020): Winners, Grades, and Video Highlights

The world of the Cruiserweights has definitely undergone some significant changes in the past few months. 205 Live's new champion, Santos Escobar, formerly El Hijo del Fantasma, shocked the world when he was revealed as the "kidnapper" that abducted Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde from the parking lot. The former 205 Live stars were apparently in on the whole thing, and have aligned themselves with Escobar.

Former 205 Live GM Drake Maverick was sent to the hospital following a vicious beatdown by the trio on NXT. Still, we had a lot of great talent left for 205 Live, including Jake Atlas, who made his 205 Live debut tonight in the main event against Jack Gallagher.

We kicked off the night with One-Two and Ever-Rise. Chase Parker and Matt Martel picked up their first win in the WWE last week, and Parker hoped to ride that momentum into an upset over the Boston Butcher Oney Lorcan.

Parker tried to out wrestle Oney Lorcan which uh...went about as well as you'd expect. Lorcan easily took over, trapping Parker in a side headlock. Parker, multiple times, tried to shoot him off into the ropes but failed.

After the third attempt, Lorcan bounced off for a shoulder block sending Parker to the corner. Parker was bounced off the turnbuckle repeatedly before getting lit up by the Star Destroyer's disastrous knife edge chops.

A distinction by Martel allowed Parker to hang Lorcan up in the ropes. A slingshot elbow drop earned him a two-count. Parker focused on the elbow of Lorcan, stretching it out in the ropes. Lorcan was sent into the ropes again, where he bounced off into a crescent kick.

Lorcan struggled to get to his feet, but was eventually able to mount a comeback with an inverted atomic drop and atomic drop combo. Another inverted atomic drop caught Parker coming off the ropes.

Lorcan drove through Parker with the running blockbuster, earning him a strong win on 205 Live.

Results: Oney Lorcan defeats Chase Parker in the opening match of 205 Live.

Grade: B-

NXT's Malcolm Bivens made his first appearance on 205 Live, distracting the Brit-Am Brawlers so Ever-Rise could lay them out.

Okay that wasn't exactly the reason. Indus Sher came in afterward to send a message to Lorcan and Burch, who saved Breezango from an assault by Indus Sher on NXT.

The Gentleman seemed to have a hard time getting a hand on NXT and 205 Live's newest cruiserweight. Jake Atlas' unique offense kept Gallagher on his toes, as Atlas was able to avoid all of Gallagher's strikes will sending him around the ring with springboard arm drags.

Gallagher countered a lifting reverse DDT with a release suplex onto the ropes, hanging Atlas up on his stomach. Gallagher continued to batter Atlas with stiff elbows and boots to the back of the neck. Atlas struggled to fight out of the corner, as Gallagher demanded Atlas hit him as hard as he could.

Atlas obliged and was immediately taken down with a leaping headbutt. Gallagher set up for an armbar, but Atlas turned it into a pinfall for the two-count. Atlas rocked Gallagher with a few shots, but he was caught coming off the ropes with an abdominal stretch, continuing to put pressure on the back.

Atlas escaped, dropping Gallagher with a high-angle belly-to-back suplex. Atlas followed up with a vicious neckbreaker to the head, which left Gallagher dazed. Still, he managed to catch Atlas in the guillotine, adding in the body scissors.

Somehow, Atlas managed to roll to the ropes. A snap German connected, and the Rainbow DDT followed up for the pinfall, giving him his first win on 205 Live!

Results: Jake Atlas defeated Jack Gallagher via pinfall on the main event of 205 Live.

Grade: A-
