Afterwards we get a video promo for NXT TakeOver: XXX (Thirty). We go back to NXT two nights ago where Ligado Del Fantasma jumped Breezango in the parking lot, then later on they beat them down in the middle of the ring. The Cruiserweight Champion means business, and will take out anybody who speaks his name.

* Tony Nese vs. Danny Burch

Oney Lorcan accompanies Burch to the ring, although he is limping as he walks. Gulak and Joseph explain that is was them who Karrion Kross attacked on NXT. They lock up, Nese backs him into a corner, clean break, knuckle lock, Burch sweeps the leg and looks for a half crab but Nese reaches the ropes. Nese with a takedown with a single leg, Burch counters with a rear mount, shoots the half to a 1-count, Nese with a rear waistlock, Burch counters into a headlock, Nese rolls through but Burch reverses, and another clean break. Nese with a shoulder thrust in a corner, back elbow, top rope backflip, drop-down kip-up, back kikc, knee, kick to the chest, legsweep and a 2-count.

Nese puts him in a chinlock to wear him down, Burch reverses, hits a shoulder block, Nese leapfrogs but Burch catches his foot and puts him in the headlock. Burch hits another shoulder block, 2-count, headlock, Nese counters with a back suplex, covers for 2, then puts him in a front chancery. Oney tries to hype up his buddy, Nese drops Burch's neck on the top rope, hits the springboard moonsault, makes the cover, but Burch's foot was under the bottom rope, so he puts him in a modified camel clutch. Nese sends him back-first into the turnbuckles, 2-count, body slam and puts him in the body scissors with a chinlock applied as well. Burch breaks the hold, gets sent into a corner, and bursts out with a clothesline.

Burch clotheslines him in a corner, gamengiri, snap suplex, and floats to cover for 2. Nese is back up to his feet first, they trade punches, Burch with an uppercut, Nese with a boot up to the face, Burch goes for a sunset flip, Nese rolls through and a low roundhouse kick for a near-fall. Nese connects with another low roundhouse, goes up top, 450 Splash comes up empty as Burch rolled away and both men are down. ARIYA DAIVARI RUNS DOWN AND RAKES ONEY LORCAN'S EYES!! Daivari throws Lorcan into the plexiglass on the rampway and stomps on him until several officials run down to stop him. He even flings one tiny official into the plexiglass wall. Danny Burch checks on Lorcan, who tells him to finish the match, Nese comes up behind a distraught Burch but he hesitates! Has Nese turned a new leaf?

The referee tells them he's going to start his count, Nese finally grabs his opponent but Burch sends him against the ring apron. Burch is all fired up now as he headbutts him in the jaw, the ref counts up to 5 at this point, and Burch throws Nese into the steel steps. That slight hesitation has now cost Nese and now he's paying for it. Burch brings him into the the ring, hangs him on the top rope, hits the elevated DDT, covers, 1-2-3. Burch has pinned a former Cruiserweight Champion, and the commentators are making sure to note that this is his biggest win. WINNER: DANNY BURCH.

That's all for 205 Live!
