10 WWE Stomping Grounds Impulse Reactions

10. Tony Nese Vs. Akira Tozawa Vs. Drew Gulak

There was an awkward inevitability about the Cruiserweight Title landing back on the pre-show after a missed Money In The Bank opportunity several weeks ago. Typical to the tragedy associated with the brand, this knocked last month's effort into a cocked hat.

Loaded with a stream of three-way crowd-poppers, this mirrored the thrilling final stretch of the television match that afforded the challengers their places on the show in the first place. A triple german suplex pinning combination rocked the Tacoma Dome early on, whilst Tozawa breaking the Gu-lock with a high angle senton from out-of-nowhere kicked off a scintillating closing stretch full of enough nearfalls to trigger an organic mid-match standing ovation.

This was, at times, legitimately breathtaking. A fairly surprising title change furnished it with a pleasing finish too - Tony Nese hadn't yet gotten his feet wet with the purple prize, but Drew Gulak's (and perhaps, 205 Live's) impressive reinvention may in fact suit it even more.
