Titus O’Neil is backstage, very animated on the phone, and the celebration is still to come!

Swann says last week TJP rubbed his loss in his face, and tonight he looks forward to returning the favour. Ariya Daivari walks up and says TJP is out and he is Swann’s opponent for tonight. Swann asks what happened to Perkins and Daivari says he doesn’t know or care.

Daivari controlled things early on before Swann able to get some momentum. Daivari attempts to head to the floor, Swann with a moonsault off the apron to the floor, landing on his feet. He jumps at Daivari, who tosses him up in the air and Swann lands head first on the apron.

Suddenly, TJP’s music hits and completely distracts Swann, TJP is on crutches and a huge knee brace and Daivari is able to take advantage to get the win.

Winner: Ariya Daivari

After the match Swann holds his neck and stares at TJP, who just stares back.

We see The Brian Kendrick walking backstage with his bags, he’s looking everywhere for Jack Gallagher. He rambles that he can’t do this anymore, this his to stop. He says Gallagher is doing things his way, so maybe he’ll trying doing things Jack’s way, so next week he wants a duel! Kendrick storms off wide-eyed.

Titus O’Neil comes out, stands at a podium, and starts to introduce Akira Tozawa, bringing the lights down and giving him a drumroll. Tozawa comes out holding the Cruiserweight Championship and wearing a nice grey suit. The crowd give him a nice chant.

Titus says that last night was an amazing night and Akira made the so-called King say bye-bye to his title. Tozawa takes the microphone and thanks the fans for their chants. He says this is a very important moment for him and O’Neil grabs a bottle of champagne behind him. Tozawa says this was his dream for many years and just then Titus pops open the bottle and catches Tozawa with some of the champagne.

O’Neil says he has congratulated Tozawa for what he did but he wants to thank him. He says at one point people thought that Tozawa becoming a WWE Superstar was a ridiculous dream but they also thought Titus Worldwide was a terrible idea. And yet here they both are. Tozawa and Titus start dancing and chanting but out comes the former Champion, Neville!

Neville looks haggered and like he hasn’t slept. He says he brought honor and dignity to that title. He made that title and in one day Tozawa has made a mockery of everything he achieved. Well in less than a week, at SummerSlam, all of that will be rectified. Neville stares at the SummerSlam countdown clock. He says this is his gift to Tozawa; the countdown to his demise. He has one hundred and fourteen hours left with his Championship. So he suggests Tozawa savour every second with that title because once it ends, so does Tozawa.

Titus says Neville looks horrible and he sees what he’s trying to do, there’s not going to be a fight. He says Tozawa is the new Champion and he fights on his own terms. Titus turns to the crowd and Neville storms the ring but before can even enter Tozawa dropkicks him. Tozawa goes out and throws Neville into the barricade then again. Crazy bumps from Neville. They brawl into the ring and then Tozawa knocks him outside and hits a suicide dive! Tozawa holds his title atop Titus’ shoulders as Neville retreats holding his jaw.

Absolutely incredible from Neville, he’s a fantastic heel and his look tonight just puts so much more emphasis on the title. That’s how every Superstar should feel about the belts. That’s it for this week’s 205 Live, let us know what you thought in the comments and I will see you back here on Saturday night for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III!
