Shortly before 205 Live ended, general manager Drake Maverick announced that Cedric Alexander will defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Drew Gulak in a rematch next week. This came off the heels of Gulak and Jack Gallagher defeating Alexander and Akira Tozawa in the main event of tonight’s episode:

Also confirmed for next week is the grudge match between Noam Dar and “The Man Of The Hour” Lio Rush. Rush has been making waves early, appearing on Monday Night Raw as a ‘motivational ally’ to Bobby Lashley. The two shared a war of words and now they have a chance to back it up against one another:
