WWE 205 Live Coverage & Results (6/12) Memphis, TN

Welcome to the live coverage for 205 Live!

They open the show with a recap of last week's main event ending in a no contest due to Hideo Itami's interference.  Drake Maverick says that this is unacceptable.  He says that Hideo is banned from the show tonight as a result.  He also says we will see Mustafa Ali vs. Tony Nese as well as Jack Gallagher, Brian Kendrick, and Drew Gulak vs. Lucha House Party. And that happens... next!

The opening video package plays.

We're welcomed to the show by Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness, and Percy Watson.  Watson says that he would have suspended Hideo for his actions last week which makes Nigel laugh.
