The show opens with Drake Maverick telling Humberto Carrillo and Lince Dorado that they will go one-on-one in tonight’s main event. Dorado says he has been around since the beginning of 205 Live and he has never had a shot at the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Carrillo says he earned his title shot fair and square last week. Maverick says he did, but if Dorado wins tonight he will be added to the title match at Clash of Champions.
