WWE 205 Live Coverage – Tozawa/Gulak Street Fight; Nese/Ali; Swann/Alexander vs. Dar/Daivari Main Event

205 Live opens with Enzo Amore and the Zo Train (Ariya Daivari, Noam Dar, and Tony Nese) backstage. The only member missing is Drew Gulak, who has a match against Akira Tozawa later tonight. Amore says he got The Zo Train matches against the four guys who interrupted them on Raw last night. Amore says after they make him look good tonight, Christmas might come early for one of them tonight. He says he will reccomend one of them for a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship. Amore asks where Gulak is at, and they all say he is working on his PowerPoint, but he walks up wearing the Goobledy “Gulaker” suit and Amore looks disgusted.

We see the 205 Live opening video and then join Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness at ringside. We see that Tony Nese will go one-on-one with Mustafa Ali, and then Noam Dar and Ariya Daivari will take on Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann in a tag team match.
