WWE 205 Live Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from September 19

Despite the cruiserweight division still struggling to find its place among WWE's other programs, 205 Live has started to see more integration with the rest of the roster.

Enzo Amore being flattened by Braun Strowman on Raw is just one example of cruiserweights finally interacting with other members of the WWE locker room. 

However, Neville is still the top dog, and it doesn't look like anyone else is even close to being considered as his replacement by management.

He is an outstanding champion, but an entire division cannot rest solely on the shoulders of one man. We need to see more cruiserweights given a chance to shine with the title, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Let's take a look at everything that happened on this week's episode of 205 Live. 

The Brian Kendrick vs. Cedric Alexander

Cedric Alexander was looking for a measure of revenge this week when he took on The Brian Kendrick, but it's really Jack Gallagher he should be going after since it was the Brit who attacked him last week and turned heel.

Alexander started strong with some quick kicks, but Kendrick responded with his own educated feet to put himself in the driver's seat.

They slowed the pace down in the middle of the match for some rest holds, but it didn't last long. Alexander is like a shark—he won't survive if he doesn't keep moving.

Alexander picked up the win after countering Slice Bread No. 2. This wasn't a memorable match by any means, but it was good enough to move the story forward.

They argued after the match until Gentleman Jack blindsided Alexander. The Wizard of Odd held his opponent while Gallagher delivered a vicious headbutt to knock him out cold. 

Grade: C+

Notes and Highlights

• The boot to the face Kendrick hit early in the match looked brutal. 
• Kendrick does so many little things to make his ring work entertaining. Something as simple as stepping on Alexander's hand while applying a headlock adds a lot.
• I doubted Gallagher as a heel at first, but he is doing well so far. It will be interesting to see if he uses his regular attire for his first post-turn match or changes it up to look less ridiculous. 

Akira Tozawa vs. Noam Dar

Drew Gulak came out before the match and stood on the announce table to talk about the horrors he suffered in fashion fail after being arrested by Breezango last week. He tried to finish his PowerPoint presentation but was interrupted by Akira Tozawa.

The Japanese sensation took on Noam Dar in the night's second match. This is one of the few combinations we haven't seen over and over, so it was a nice change of pace.

The Scottish Supernova took control early by attacking Tozawa's leg. He used a variety of strikes and holds to punish the knee before the Japanese fought back with some stiff strikes.

This was a fast-paced encounter, and they looked good from bell to bell. Tozawa scored the victory with a top rope senton. 

Like the first bout, this was an average performance for both Superstars. It looks like Tozawa and Gulak may be feuding going forward, but we will have to wait to see if anything develops.

Grade: C+

Notes and Highlights

• It's hard to decide if Drew Gulak's new music is awesome or terrible. 
• Whatever fashion jail is, you know they don't wear those atrocious orange jumpsuits. 
• It looked like Tozawa's head hit Dar square in the face when he performed a suicide dive. 

From Frenemies to Friends to Enemies

Rich Swann and TJP had a conversation backstage. TJP congratulated his friend and apologized for how intense things had gotten before suggesting they have another match because they work so well together. Swann disagreed and went to the ring to face Lince Dorado.

When the luchador was set to make his entrance, cameras found him knocked out backstage. Swann went to check things out and was kicked in the face by TJP out of nowhere.

Perkins ripped one of Swann's braids out of his head and taunted him with his own catchphrase. Then he dropped Swann's head across the barricade to put him down for good.

In less than a minute, this segment managed to outdo the two matches we saw earlier in the show just by telling a better story.

Grade: B+

Notes and Highlights

• This is the heel TJP we have needed since he turned. A driven, violent Perkins is going to be so much better than the dabbing babyface he used to be.
• Did TJP really rip out one of Swann's braids? If so, that had to hurt.
• Hopefully Perkins will get some new entrance music to match his new villainous personality.

Neville and Enzo Amore Hype Their Match

Amore came out with his shoulder wrapped up to sell the attack from Braun Strowman and Neville on Raw, and the cruiserweight champ made sure to rub it in.

Amore accused Neville of being jealous of him, but The Man Gravity Forgot found this idea hilarious since he is the champion and one of the best wrestlers in the world. 

This was the most focused we have seen Amore in months, so his mic work was on point. He was back to delivering witty rhymes and stinging insults just like the old days.

The King of the Cruiserweights vowed to make an example out of his loudmouth opponent at No Mercy instead of beating him as fast as possible. 

Amore took the low road at the end of the segment and kicked Neville below the belt, which ended up getting him some heat from the crowd.

This encounter ended up being much more entertaining than expected, and it did a better job making their feud interesting than anything else they have done up to this point.

Grade: B

Notes and Highlights

• The crowd doesn't talk along with Amore during his entrance as loud as it did during his time with Big Cass. Maybe some people are tired of his shtick. 
• Neville's laugh is disturbing in the best possible way.
• Amore bragged about hanging out with Drake and The Weeknd, which is what got him in trouble with the locker room in the first place.
