Agreed, RAW was slightly better than Smackdown, but this wasn't a very good week for lead ups to a PPV. Also, they seriously need to work on the sound. I thought they made the audience reactions a bit too loud

Accomplishing such a feat will be much easier said than done, however, as they’ll tangle with Mansoor and Curt Stallion, who were each part of the quartet that dealt “Bolly-Rise” a loss in last week’s Eight-Man Tag Team Match.

Mansoor enters tonight’s bout with his undefeated record intact, while Stallion came within an eyelash of winning the NXT Cruiserweight Champion from Santos Escobar and also scored the winning pinfall last week against “Bolly-Rise.”

August Grey had a rough night on last week’s 205 Live, as he caught a pre-match beatdown in the backstage area when Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari suddenly ambushed him during an interview. And right when Grey appeared to be closing in on a victory against Daivari Dinero later that evening, The Premier Athlete interfered to tee up his comrade for a controversial win.

Can The Life of the Party somehow overcome the odds this week?

Don’t miss what is certain to be a thrilling edition of 205 Live, streaming tonight at 10/9 C on the award-winning WWE Network!

heel time with roman

Reigns & Pals and Daniel Bryan promo segment was pretty good.

Not sure why Reigns has an issue with Edge challenging him for his belt at Mania since he kept goading him into making that decision beforehand.

So what was the purpose of the Blue Brand Elimination Chamber match if Bryan can quickly get another title shot before Edge?

WWE really should get rid of having PPVs in between Rumble & Mania since it just leads to them becoming more and more lazy for Mania's build over the years.

Mysterios vs. Gable & Otis was pretty good.

Not sure I'm going to get used to Evil Otis since he was one of the few genuine lovable and interesting face wrestlers WWE had on the main roster, especially on the younger or new star side.

:lol: Apollo really is doing a Nigerian royalty gimmick now.

:lol: they gave him an evil foreigner accent as well.

It sounds ridiculous but Apollo probably could pull off the rich aristocrat/upper class gimmick better than Alberto Del Rio did in WWE.

uh oh cruz is a prince from africa now who wants to give you money

Crews vs. Nakamura was pretty good.

Did the spirit of Lana suddenly possess Natty?

She looks a lot different tonight.

Bianca vs. Banks for the SD Women's title at Mania got confirmed.

Asuka can kiss her belt goodbye since its about to be the property of Charlotte very soon.

Holy shit at the air Montez Ford got from that sunset flip over Sami onto Corbin.

Street Profits vs. Corbin & Sami was decent but that spot by Ford was easily the highlight of the whole match.

yeah that is a contender for jump of the year.

:lol: at Rollins screaming while being swung around by Cesaro.

:| at Bryan vs. Jey Uso ending via double countout. Match itself was very good despite that buzz kill ending.

WWE can't go a week without doing a screwy finish or two for their main shows.

Guess Roman Reigns is getting the night off at Fastlane.

This week's show was very enjoyable overall. Haven't seen all of this week's NXT's show yet but currently leaning towards SD over NXT for which WWE show I enjoyed the most this week.

Ok I'm semi intrigued.
