WWE 205 Live 4/23/2021

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/wwe-205-live-4162021.html

Tom Phillips and Nigel are announcing. Tom does the Bollywood Boyz dance.

The Bollywood Boyz vs Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari

The Boyz are 0-2 against Ariya and Nese. Both teams have new outfits I think.

Nese goes after Samir early then Ariya pounds on him in the corner. Samir and Ariya pound on each other and Samir gets his shoulder rammed into the buckles. Nese hits a decent dropkick and Ariya drops some elbows on Samir. Samir hits a nice tornado ddt on Ariya and both are down. Samir goes for the tag but Nese pulls Sunil off the apron and Samir is dragged back over to the other side.

Samir reverses a suplex into a neckbreaker and Sunil gets the hot tag. He takes out Nese and top rope double axe handles Ariya. He fends off both guys and spinning heel kicks Ariya for 2. Sunil hits a 2nd rope clothesline for 2. Sunil holds up Nese and Samir hits a diving back elbow off the buckles on him. The Boyz double superkick Nese then Sunil has Nese over his knee and Samir elbow drops him from the 2nd rope for 2. Sunil then diving clotheslines Ariya.

Nese comes back and hits running knees on Samir for the win in a surprising ending kind of out of nowhere. This really wasn't anything too special.

We see clips of Kushida from NXT this week.

August Grey vs Ashante "Thee" Adonis

Will Grey finally grab a cheap win tonight? Grey is 1-0 against Adonis all-time, last defeating him in March.

I think Grey has new black and silver tights here and they look pretty cool. Adonis takes off Grey's bandana and slaps him with it. Grey cartwheels out of a wristlock and slaps Adonis with the bandana. Adonis hits a hard back elbow.

Grey takes back over and goes through the ropes to break a hold, but is whipped neck first into the top rope. He then takes a hard fall outside. Adonis kicks him hard in the back and drops some elbows on him. Grey moves but Adonis doesn't fall for it and tries a knee instead. Grey evades that too.

Adonis hits a nice dropkick. Ariya comes down and Grey and Adonis trade forearms. Grey back elbows Adonis and hits a neckbreaker. He does his top rope walking twisting crossbody and throws out Adonis. Grey goes out after him and they both lariat each other on the floor.

Ariya questions Grey not taking the countout win and argues with him. Grey is distracted and takes a stun gun on the rope then a superkick for the Adonis win. This was okay as Grey didn't get too much offense and the storyline of Grey not taking cheap wins continues here. Really curious as to where they are going with this one.

Grey and Ariya argue after. Ariya tells Grey that his pride got in the way and he blew it.

Overall thoughts: It's 205 Live. Only having 30 minutes limits so much of what you can do, but they try the best they can with their limitations.
