Johnny Gargano vs Humberto Carrillo
Humberto Carrillo debuted on the most recent edition of 205 Live, facing Cruiserweight Champion in a great contest. Now, a match with Gargano could prove to mean big things for the nephew of Hector Garza.
Gargano and Carrillo traded holds and worked in some chain wrestling, but Gargano ended all of that with a punch to the jaw. Carrillo responded by avoiding the rest of Gargano's early offence, connecting with a spinning roundhouse kick.
Carrillo took the fight to Gargano outside, and a superkick on the apron seemed to stun Johnny Wrestling. However, as Carrillo went for a dive, Gargano caught him with the slingshot spear, taking over the match.
Gargano locked Carrillo in the octopus stretch, but he fought out, landing big boot on Gargano. A handspring back elbow from Carrillo sent Gargano outside again, where Carrillo dove outside.
He didn't let Gargano catch a breath, sending him back inside and landing a pinpoint missile dropkick from the top rope. Carillo followed up with a rolling moonsault, but Gargano kicked out.
Gargano stuck his feet up when Carrillo went for the moonsault, catching him under the jaw. A superkick left him knocked out on his feet. Gargano sent his opponent into the turnbuckle, lawn darting him face first into the middle pad. A slingshot DDT would put Carrillo away.
Results: Johnny Gargano defeated Humberto Carrillo via pinfall.
After the match, Gargano found the nearest camera and told Ricochet that if he wanted his respect, he should show up next week.
Tommaso Ciampa, holding goldie, cut a promo on Aleister Black. He said if he is a puppet master, then Black is the ultimate puppet.
Ciampa said he and Black are indeed going to wait until Phoenix to get their hands on each other, as that's what main event men do, something Black knows nothing about.
Ciampa finished by saying the former champion should be careful what he wished for.
