Oct 31, 2017 - by Michael Riba

205 Live opens with a recap of the feud between Drew Gulak and Akira Tozawa. We then see the opening video for the show and go into the arena where Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to the show. We see that Rich Swann will go one-on-one with The Brian Kendrick tonight, as well as a Fright Night Fatal Four-Way Match featuring Mustafa Ali, Gran Metalik, Tony Nese, and Ariya Daivari.

Drew Gulak comes to the ring and he says he has a plan for a better Halloween. He begins a new PowerPoint presentation, this one with 47 slides. Slide number one says “no candy,” while slide number two says “no trick-or-treating.” Before Gulak can reveal slide three, Akira Tozawa interrupts.

Match #1: Drew Gulak vs. Akira Tozawa
A storm came through my area and knocked my power out for a bit, so I missed the beginning part of this match. My apologies for that.

My power comes back on and Tozawa delivers a suicide dive to the outside to take Gulak down. Tozawa tosses Gulak back into the ring and goes for a suplex, but Gulak blocks it. Gulak chops Tozawa in the throat and goes for a roll-up, but Tozawa kicks out at two. Tozawa kicks Gulak in the head and goes up top. Tozawa connects with the diving senton and gets the pin fall.
Winner: Akira Tozawa.

We take a look back to last week’s show and recap when The Brian Kendrick and Gentleman Jack Gallagher gave Cedric Alexander an ultimatum: get rid of Rich Swann, or face the consequences.

We see Swann backstage and Alexander walks up. He says he can’t wrap his head around why Kendrick and Gallagher think he will turn on Swann just because they said to. Swann says he doesn’t listen to them, and Alexander says they should because they called him a clown. Alexander says they will give Kendrick and Gallagher a clown and hands Swann a clown nose.

We see a vignette with Mustafa Ali. He says trick-or-treating in Chicago wasn’t the easiest thing to do, but a lesson he learned was that he always got the candy in the end.

We see that “Greatest Show on Earth” by Kid Rock will be the official theme song for Survivor Series.

We take a look back to last night’s Raw and the confrontation between Enzo Amore and Kalisto after Kalisto defeated Drew Gulak. We see that Amore will defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Kalisto at Survivor Series.
