10 Best WWE 205 Live Matches
6. Austin Aries Vs. TJP Vs. Akira Tozawa Vs. The Brian Kendrick Vs. Tony Nese (March 14, 2017)
Once Neville disposed of Jack Gallagher at WWE Fastlane, there was only one person left fans wanted to see challenge for the Cruiserweight Championship: Austin Aries. He had spent the last number of months acting as a color commentator for 205 Live, biding his time behind the booth until he was cleared to compete from an injury he suffered in late 2016.
Finally, the long-awaited rivalry between Neville and Aries kicked off on the March 6 edition of Raw when Aries confronted Neville about a title opportunity and the very next night, Aries returned to the ring on 205 Live.
One week after that, he was a part of a No. 1 Contender's match to officially earn his shot at the strap, but it wasn't going to come easy against the likes of TJP, Akira Tozawa, The Brian Kendrick and Tony Nese. It was a fun affair featuring five elite athletes with non-stop exhilarating action, but Aries' struggle to punch his ticket to WrestleMania 33 was the real story of the match.
This was another elimination-style Fatal 5-Way, so with only Aries and Kendrick remaining, it was Aries who ultimately emerged victorious.
