It's time for another episode of 205 Live on the WWE Network! WWE 205 Live recap for Jan. 8, 2021 and it's in the Capitol Wrestling Center! Who will do battle in the cruiserweight division? Tune in for all the details. Hit F5 to refresh the live recap.

Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to the show, and Nigel makes fun of Vic for wearing the same tux from NXT New Year's Evil earlier this week.

* Ashante "Thee" Adonis vs. Ariya Daivari

During the match, Daivari worked on Adonis's left leg a lot. So when Adonis goes for the superkick his leg gives out on him. Daivari puts him in the figure-4 leglock, but Adonis rolls over almost making him tap out. Adonis ducks the hammerlock lariat, connects with the Long Kiss Goodnight superkick, and gets the victory. WINNER: Ashante "Thee" Adonis.

We get word from Mr. William Regal that starting next week, 205 Live will be joining NXT in the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, where the winners not only win the trophy but also an NXT Tag Team Title match! We get a promo for the next NXT TakeOver streaming on February 14th.

We go back to NXT New Year's Evil two days ago where Santos Escobar successfully defended his NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Gran Metalik.

* The Bollywood Boyz vs. August Grey & Curt Stallion

August Grey is the face-in-peril here, as The Bollywood Boyz have control for the majority of the match. They even connect on their Bollywood Blast finisher, but Curt Stallion dives in to make the save at the last second. Stallion gets the hot tag, takes Samir Singh down with kicks, a bog boot, and a facewash, then wipes out Sunil Singh with a low suicide dive. Grey hits a cradle suplex on Samir, Stallion goes for the body splash but Samir gets his boots up, Sunil grabs Grey's legs, and Stallion kicks out for a close near-fall. Stallion hits a jawbreaker on Samir, running torpedo headbutt, Grey tagged in to hit running Unprettier, and that does it. WINNERS: Curt Stallion & August Grey.

Next week, the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic take place on NXT and 205 Live. That's all for tonight's 205 Live!
