Chase Parker and Sunil Singh are primed for a slugfest with Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari, while Mansoor and August Grey are set for what should be an edge-of-your-seat thriller.

Could tonight mark the end of the “Bolly-Rise” experiment? If Ever-Rise and The Bollywood Boyz are to be believed, they will indeed call it quits if Parker and Sunil are unable to claim the quartet’s first win since forming an alliance several weeks ago.

Will Parker and Sunil prove to be the winning combination for “Bolly-Rise,” or will The Premier Athlete and Daivari Dinero claim their second victory in as many weeks after besting The Bollywood Boyz last Friday?

Grey clearly isn’t intimidated by his undefeated opponent, as he made a confident pre-match boast that he’s a party starter and a streak ender.

That streak belongs to Mansoor, and it has reached an astounding 44 consecutive wins, including hard-earned victories against the likes of Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Curt Stallion, Drew Gulak, Ashante “Thee” Adonis and more.

Will Mansoor reach another milestone and improve to 45-0, or will Grey make good on his word and deal Mansoor his first defeat? Find out on a must-see edition of 205 Live, streaming tonight at 10/9 C on Peacock and WWE Network!

Edge's promo about Bryan weaseling his way into a main event title match at Mania is true but still doesn't change the fact that his new heel character is still a moron for purposely lowering his odds at winning the title because of some ill timed decisions on his end.

:eek: at the short opening talkie segment.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 08:21 PM

Dominik wearing a turtle neck t-shirt makes him look a bit goofy.

Nevermind, it was just a regular shirt that looked like it had a turtle neck since it was the same color as his ring attire underneath.

OssMan 04-02-2021 08:31 PM

did they do the part with logan paul yet

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 08:33 PM

Vince probably just threw whatever he had in his hand across the room after that loud leg slap Montez Ford did for his drop kick spot.

8-Man Tag match was pretty good but SD's tag division has still been a bit boring these past few weeks or so.

No, that's probably happening at the top of the hour or near the end of the show.

slik 04-02-2021 08:44 PM

since OTIS is now an evil heel is he still using the worm as his finisher?

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 08:45 PM

Did Rollins get blasted by a paint gun or fall into a vat of tie-dye since his suit this week might be his wackiest looking one yet since his return.

Either someone has been giving him some really odd fashion advice or he got baited into a big prank/rib these past few weeks.

No. He mostly does the typical WWE big man/fat guy splash for his finisher these days.

erickman 04-02-2021 08:51 PM

good that was short

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 08:52 PM

Whelp that Natty vs. Shayna match was a waste of time.

SD's Women's division has been a dumpster fire during this Road to Mania.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 08:57 PM

If that women's tag brawl afterwards was meant to be the tease for the multi-women's tag match at Mania then it was such a big dud.

Why even have the brawl if the idea was to just have Natty & Tamina stand tall in the end. They already had the last laugh after Natty beat Shanya in a quick nothing match.

erickman 04-02-2021 08:59 PM

big e had a spinal tap moment

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 09:07 PM

:| at Sami inviting Logan Paul to Mania.

Sami's documentary trailer was pretty cool.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 09:10 PM

That documentary trailer segment didn't really need Logan Paul involved at all with how it went down.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 09:20 PM

Going to laugh if this Carmella vs. Bianca match is nothing more than just a quick squash for Bianca considering Carmella's online outburst earlier this week against RAW's Creative over their terrible booking of their women's division on RAW this week.

there has been 2 sets of ads since she walked out there and the match just started.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 09:28 PM

:lol: at whatever that botch was during this Carmella vs. Bianca match.

Either Bianca went too early with the flips or Carmella was way too slow with the roll away or both since it was that weird of a botch.

Match ended up lasting longer than I expected but still was meh.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 09:35 PM

Poor Cedric & Shelton, went from being in one of the best acts on RAW with the Hurt Business to not even being Mania pre-show worthy because WWE yanked the Andre Battle Royal to SD this year.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 09:37 PM

:| Big E vs. Apollo Crews in a Nigerian Drum Fight at Mania ... wait wtf is even a Nigerian Drum Fight?

WWE turned a pretty cool feud between Big E and Apollo into a lot less appealing and interesting feud these past few weeks.

uh yeah that looks like something peacock would scrub from the network.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 10:00 PM

Daniel Bryan vs. Jey Uso Street Fight was pretty good although not one of the better matches those two have had recently. Something about the match felt a bit off.

The post-match rampage by Bryan was great though.

This week's show was mostly average at best overall but also somewhat skippable. Did feel more like the go-home show for Mania despite there still being a week left in this year's Road to Mania.

Triple A 04-04-2021 01:44 AM

Sami Zayn seems like the best part of WWE right now... Extremely sweaty and unkempt in his pink suit. Love him

Championship bouts to be featured include:
  • Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali from WrestleMania 34 – Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali emerged as the last two men standing from a wildly unpredictable 16-man tournament for the vacant championship, and The Heart and Soul of 205 Live engaged in an unforgettable classic, leaving even John Cena in shock as he watched from the stands.
  • Murphy vs. Tony Nese from WrestleMania 35 – Though then-champion Murphy and Tony Nese had been training partners for some time, Murphy attacked The Premier Athlete in the blink of an eye when Nese emerged triumphant from an eight-man tournament to determine Murphy’s WrestleMania challenger, setting the stage for a heated title bout at The Showcase of the Immortals.
  • Santos Escobar vs. Isaiah “Swerve” Scott from NXT TakeOver 31 – In an historic moment, the NXT Cruiserweight Championship was defended for the first time at an NXT TakeOver. Santos Escobar put his title on the line against Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, and both competitors took advantage of the big stage, dazzling the NXT Universe with a thrilling match.

Tonight’s 205 Live, which will stream at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network elsewhere, will also feature a special look back at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver’s awe-inspiring Ladder Match between Devlin and Escobar.

let's see how good foxes wrestlemania is

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:23 PM

:lol: at Rey randomly falling down despite him not being anywhere close to where Dominik landed on his dive to the outside.

Also Rey & Domink did the one holds the ropes and the other dives through it spot much better than what Shotzi did at TakeOver. Helps that Rey is smaller and didn't overshot the spot.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:31 PM

The height Montez Ford got on his Frog Splash was crazy.

Smackdown Tag title match was pretty good but the finish and Ziggy & Roode retaining was a bit of a buzz kill.

guess they are saving there loss till it is on a ppv

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:36 PM

:lol: at Melty Man Fiend.

Can't stop chuckling whenever WWE shows the graphic for his new look.

Wait why are they going to waste valuable go-home show minutes on SD showcasing the Orton vs. Fiend since that's a RAW brand feud.

erickman 04-09-2021 08:43 PM

nia stink time

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:43 PM

Guess WWE's not going to bother explaining what a Nigerian Drum match is until it actually happens at Mania since that Big E video talked about his hometown instead and Apollo probably not getting a video of his own tonight.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:53 PM

That was a bit weird. Nia Jax comes out first to her music, then Tamina to her music, then WWE goes to break but when they come back, Nia's music is suddenly playing as if she was the one who came out second.

Match itself sucked.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:56 PM

:lol: at the reveal of if Billie Kay found a tag partner is just Carmella nonchalantly showing up at her side.

This women's tag contenders segment might actually be worse than the one on RAW.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 08:57 PM

:lol: at this political ad style package for Seth Rollins.

Even included the "this ad was paid for by" line done in actual political ads.

erickman 04-09-2021 09:04 PM

edge is right

erickman 04-09-2021 09:10 PM

so how long is the battle royal it should start soon.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 09:10 PM

Edge's promo was great.

This Universal title feud might have gotten a bit convoluted build-wise but its been delivering gold after gold for promos.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 09:13 PM

:lol: at that little diss by Adam Pearce and Sonya over Ziggy and Roode's win tonight not counting as a Mania win.

Neither one gave a shit about them still being champs or the idea of them possibly defending the belts on little rest since tonight isn't Mania.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 09:18 PM

That promo by Sasha was terrible.

Considering how bad the SD Women's title feud has been, feels like a big mistake to have that as the headliner for Night 1 of Mania instead of the WWE title match.

The Hurt Business breakup stuff was stupid but the rest of the Lashley vs. Drew build has mostly good and one of the very few good builds for Mania this year.

Emperor Smeat 04-09-2021 09:23 PM

:| at WWE also having the even worse Paul brother show up on SD albeit via a taped video segment.
