Another week, another episode of 205 Live in the books. Legado Del Fantasma, Ever-Rise, and the Brit-Am Brawlers/One-Two or whatever else they've been called took over the majority of the show. Suddenly, 205 Live has turned into a tag team show instead of a Cruiserweight specific one.
After the beatdown they received alongside Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch at the hands of Legado Del Fantasma, Ever-Rise hoped to get some revenge this week. A fan poll was put up to see which team would battle Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde in the 205 Live main event.

We got a replay of the beatdown that One-Two and Ever-Rise took on 205 Live last week. Legado Del Fantasma left both teams battered and broken, with the NXT Cruiserweight Champion and his lackeys raising their hands high. Tonight, in the 205 Live main event, Legado Del Fantasma, with Santos Escobar in tow, will take on One-Two.
However, Ever-Rise weren't finished, as they still had to get revenge on the trio.
One-Two (Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch) vs Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza) w/Santos Escobar on 205 Live
Oney Lorcan battered Joaquin Wilde early on in the 205 Live main event. However, Wilde managed to drag the Star Destroyer to Legado Del Fantasma's corner, leading to the duo taking control.
