205 Live (5/16)

Juvenile, but effective.

My god, an actual new rivalry and story on 205 Live. Sure, it's Rich Swann vs. Ariya Daivari, and sure, it's set up by juvenile package pranks spinning out of the Noam Dar / Alicia Fox mess, but hey, it's something!



Everything else was wheel-spinning with talented in-ring action. Dar defeated Gran Metalik, whose family should also be happy he's alive. Drew Gulak and Tony Nese sent Mustafa Ali "to the hospital" to further the No Fly Zone feud. And TJP continued his plans to make Neville hapy by injuring Austin Aries, which feels like it's been happening since before 205 Live premiered, and with three weeks to go before Extreme Rules, will probably keep happening. A post-match beatdown means more knee injury matches in WWE, which nobody really fucking needs.
