It's time for another episode of 205 Live on the WWE Network! It's a new era in 205 Live, and the new General Manager Drake Maverick has announced a Cruiserweight Title Tournament which will culminate at WrestleMania. Buddy Murphy will make his 205 Live debut when he takes on Ariya Daivari. Also in first-round action, Jack Gallagher will face Mustafa Ali. Who will advance in the tournament? Tune in for all the details after Mixed Match Challenge ends on Facebook Watch.

(On Mixed Match Challenge, Bobby Roode and Charlotte defeated Apollo Crews and Nia Jax.)

10:24 PM ET: Last week on 205 Live, Mark Andrews made his debut and won his match to advance in the tournament. Also, Drew Gulak found his aggressive side to win his match and advance as well. Tonight is the final night for first-round matches! Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness briefly welcome us to the show and we are underway with the first match. Pre-match, Daivari makes fun of Buddy Murphy having to cut weight to make the right amount to compete in the cruiserweight division. Last night, Murphy had his final weigh-in and he is at 200.9 lbs, even though he was just announced at 202.
