205:Alive - 205 Live recap for July 11, 2017

Akira Tozawa is taking a speakerphone call from Titus O'Neil. He tells him not to be ashamed of how he beat Neville last week, and tells him he has given him a rematch against Neville. Suddenly, Ariya Daivari hangs up on Titus O'Neil and mocks Tozawa for getting a rematch, saying his "mismanagement" is two steps behind, and talks about how wrestling has been a sport in Iran for millennia. Daivari then says Tozawa has no honor, and Tozawa tells Daivari not to question his honor. We then find out that Ariya Daivari and Akira Tozawa have a match, and that it's next.

Akira Tozawa beats Ariya Daivari by disqualification after he is attacked by Neville, who beats Tozawa up at ringside before putting him in the Rings of Saturn in the center of the ring.



Drew Gulak apologizes to everyone for "his indiscretion" following his high-risk maneuver two weeks ago, and apologizes to lowering his standards to those of Mustafa Ali. He intends to uphold a vision of a better 205 Live, and next week, there will be a two-out-of-three falls match between him and Ali to determine whose philosophy is better.



We see a video package getting everyone up to speed with what is going on between TJP and Rich Swann.

TJP guests on commentary - or watches from the table, at least - for the next match.

Rich Swann beats Mario Connors.

After the match, TJP asks Neville if he is happy with his performance tonight, and says he expected a little bit more out of him. Had it been him in the ring, he would have beat Mario Connors in half the time. He then challenges Connors to another match, giving him a second chance that most people don't get. Mario Connors agrees to the match. To make things interesting, it becomes a Beat The Clock Challenge. It is revealed that Swann beat Connors in 3:49. TJP says Connors is either tougher than he looks, or Swann needs to step up his game.

TJP beats Mario Connors in 28 seconds.



The Brian Kendrick shows up, pretending to be an Englishman. He mocks "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher, and says he is a clown, a fraud and a third-rate William Regal. He is not laughing, as he has had to work hard to earn respect, and has had to sacrifice everything to get back to the WWE, while Gallagher has never put in an ounce of work. Unfortunately, he feels people would rather cheer Gallagher as people would rather have a laugh. Gallagher shows up and questions Kendrick's statements, and calls his spot in WWE no laughing matter, and congratulates him on his second chance in a company where he squandered his first chance being "a passive-aggressive git." Gallagher says he is willing to fight for everyone is a little bit different, and Gallagher says he is not a third-rate Regal, but a first-rate Jack Gallagher. He makes it clear that he can back up what he says, and tells Kendrick that if he questions him again, he will knock his head off. Gallagher then punches Kendrick in the face and headbutts him out of the ring, but Kendrick gets the upper hand after rolling back into the ring, and smashes not one, but two umbrellas into the side of Gallagher until referees restore order.



Mustafa Ali vs. Drew Gulak in a two-out-of-three falls match is official for next week, with Ali having accepted Gulak's challenge.

Cedric Alexander beats Noam Dar in an "I Quit" Match after trapping his hand in a steel chair and repeatedly stomping the chair. After the match, Noam Dar says that he not only quits feuding with Cedric Alexander, but he also quits Alicia Fox. He tells Alicia that if she thought he was really into her, she is as stupid as she looks. He says that he is the youngest person on the 205 Live and Raw rosters, and that he could have any woman in any city on any continent, and that he could get any woman in the arena if he wanted to. He then tells Alicia that he used her to get attention, and now that he has it, she is more trouble than she is worth. He tells her to jog on, as she means nothing to him.
