WWE 205 Live (Episode 239)
Orlando, Florida at Capitol Wrestling Center (WWE PC)
Streamed July 9, 2021 on WWE Network
There was a cold open with the broadcast team of Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness declaring this a very special episode of 205 Live…
Anish’s Thoughts:Special in that seemingly for no reason we would see this become 405 Live as heavyweights Odyssey Jones and Josh Briggs compete on the show while exceeding the weight limit by around 200 pounds. I’m not going to lie though, as a one off, I dig it.
1.
Josh Briggs vs. Asher Hale.The former Evolve Champion Briggs made his debut against Hale with the two circling and Hale tentatively trying to circle in. Briggs picked him up and slammed him with ease to start with Hale then trying for a single leg, with not much success. Hale then tried for a drop toe hold and a Fujiwara Armbar, both off which were shucked off by Briggs. Hale then tried for a backslide and instead used the turnbuckle to run into a small package for a one count. Hale used this to push Briggs out of the ring and hit a running knee from the apron to stun him.
