205 Live Results – September 10, 2021

205 Live
Date: September 10, 2021
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness
This is going to be the last show in the old school Capitol Wrestling Center as things will be upgraded next week due to NXT, assuming the taping schedule isn’t that far behind. 205 Live has been undergoing some changes as of late and we might even be in for some more non-crusierweight action. Let’s get to it.
Valentina Feroz vs. Katrina Cortez They go with the grappling to start and throw each other down for an early standoff. Feroz grabs a headlock takeover as we hear about her loss against Kay Lee Ray. A rope walk headlock takeover keeps Cortez in trouble and it’s off to an armbar to change things up a bit. That’s broken up though and Cortez sends her to the apron for a kick to the back. A double arm crank goes on but Feroz is right back up with some judo throws. Cortez manages to grab a quick Boston crab but that’s broken up as well, with Feroz hitting..

Released WWE Star Unable To Wrestle Due To Visa Issues

It’s a tricky situation. WWE has cleaned house on their roster this year and that has shaken up the wrestling landscape. There are all kinds of wrestlers moving from one promotion to another, but there are also wrestlers who have not gone anywhere yet. That can make things a little more complicated, and in one situation, there is a major outside factor that is holding things up.
In a new interview with WrestleZone, Big Damo, better known as Killian Dain in WWE, spoke about his current visa issues. Damo is allowed to stay in the United States but is unable to work at the moment, including wrestling anywhere. This is something that could be cleared up at any point, but until then, he is stuck on the sidelines. Once he is able to obtain a visa, he will be allowed to wrestle anywhere he is able to obtain work.
Someone will be interested. Check out what Damo can do when he is allowed:

A New Career? Former WWE Stars Releasing Song

That’s a different one. There have been all kinds of superstars coming and going from WWE and it can be difficult to keep track of what everyone is doing. It can be even harder when some of those wrestlers aren’t on television anymore, but some of them have come up with ways to keep their names out there. Two of them have a pretty unique idea of their own coming soon.
Cassie Lee and Jesse McKay, formerly known as the IIconics, will be featured on an upcoming song, soon to be released on Spotify. The song, called The Iinspiration (the team’s new name), is by Harley Cameron and will feature Lee and McKay. The team was released from WWE earlier this year and have yet to appear for any other wrestling promotion. It is not clear when they will be wrestling again.
‘The IInspiration’ by Harley Cameron feat. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee is available for Pre-Save!! ?

Big E As WWE Champion: Why He Deserves A Real Main Event Run

Big E’s WWE Championship win on the September 13 edition of Monday Night Raw was met with overwhelming approval online. It’s not often that such an outpouring of affection and support is heaped on the shoulders of a pro wrestler. But in this case, it’s very fitting.
Big E puts in the work, night in and night out. He always rises to the occasion and he does it while always looking like a main event powerhouse. Now he most definitely is one. Because of that, it’s time for WWE to run with the new champ and elevate him to the status he deserves.

New Day, New Champion Winning the title is just the first step. That seems a bit backwards and with good reason. After all, the notion of paying dues is a very real thing in the business. Very few talents arrive on the main roster and immediately achieve overnight success. Not everyone is Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar.
However, that’s not to subtract from Big E as a worker in the ring. E has truly come in..

NXT Was A Bit Of A Weird Mess Backstage

Sounds like Monday. This week’s edition of NXT saw the launch of NXT 2.0, which changed the way the show will be run for a long time to come. After several years of doing the same thing, NXT decided to change things up entirely with a new set, new wrestlers and new stories. That is quite the change of pace, but you might be hearing a familiar story about what was happening behind the scenes.
According to PWInsider.com, Kevin Dunn ran this week’s edition of NXT as Triple H was recovering from a recent cardiac event. In addition, the script for the show was completely changed several times and some of the wrestlers at the event described the backstage atmosphere as “weird”. The show was headlined by a four way match for the vacant NXT Title and the wedding of Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell.
The show went well enough. Check out some of the highlights:

Former WWE Star Completely Stepping Away From Wrestling

Maybe that’s what he needs. There are all kinds of wrestlers in the world today and some of them are more well known than others. Some of them are talented and lucky enough to get a chance to showcase themselves for one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world, but that does not mean everything is going to go well. At some point they are going to leave that promotion and it can shake things up. That seems to be the case again.
Former WWE star Jake Atlas has announced that he will be completely stepping away from wrestling for the time being. Atlas said that he is not banged up or suffering from a concussion and spoke about his mental health. He also said that he wrestled for five years and learned to hide his issues during his career. Atlas said that he had fun in wrestling and thanked fans for their support over the years. Atlas was released from his WWE contract on August 6 and made his Ring of Honor debut on Sunday at Death Before Dishonor.
I’m not concussed or “banged up…

WATCH: Second Generation Star Makes In-Ring Debut And A Splash

That’s how you get started. Every now and then you see someone debut and make an impact as soon as they start up. It does not happen often, but on the rare occasions when it does, you know that you are in for something special. Things can be made even better if someone has an extra boost upon their arrival, and that was the case again this week with a special debut.
This week’s debut edition of NXT 2.0 began with Bron Breakker making his debut backstage by confronting LA Knight. The two had a match, with Breakker picking up the surprise win. At the end of the show, Breakker congratulated new NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, suggesting that he wanted a shot at the title. Breakker is better known as Bronson Rechsteiner, the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. Breakker’s family history was not mentioned. While he has not wrestled before, he has made some appearances in NXT as an extra.
I’d say he had a good night. Check out how the debut night went down, plus some of the family..

VIDEO: Two Surprise Returns Take Place On NXT

It’s nice to see some familiar faces. This week’s edition of NXT marked the launch of NXT 2.0, which saw the biggest change in the history of the show. All kinds of new names debuted on a new set with a new layout of the Capitol Wrestling Center. That alone should make for something new, but there were also some familiar faces showing up for the first time in a good while.
There were two surprise returns this week on NXT. First, Austin Theory returned from his self imposed hiatus to take part in the wedding between Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell. Theory appeared at the wedding and was asked to present the rings, which Ikemen Jiro actually had. In addition, NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida returned after missing several weeks due to testing positive for the Coronavirus. Kushida agreed to defend his championship against Roderick Strong next week, in a match originally planned for last month.
It certainly was an eventful night. Check out what happened with the returns, plus a mashup f..

NXT Results – September 14, 2021

NXT
Date: September 14, 2021
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Beth Phoenix, Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett
We have arrived as it is time for the all new NXT, featuring a lot of the same people and whatever angles need to be wrapped up. I’m almost terrified of what this is going to include as the usual suspects from Raw are in charge. We have a wedding and a vacant World Title to fill though so let’s get to it.
We open with a quick recap of Samoa Joe vacating the NXT Title and the setup of the four way for the vacant championship.
Tommaso Ciampa doesn’t care which NXT it is because he’ll be champion.
Pete Dunne thinks it is time for a Bruiserweight Champion.
Kyle O’Reilly is ready to achieve a goal sixteen years in the making.
LA Knight knows Samoa Joe was scared of him and now three men are stuck in the same spot. Someone named Bron Breaker (better known as Bronson Rechsteiner) comes up to Knight and says he wants a chance to prove himself. Knight tell..

New NXT Champion Crowned After Surprise Change In Title Match

They needed someone new. NXT has been completely relaunched as NXT 2.0 and that means things are being completely reset. There is a new set, new wrestlers and new stories, but something had to change on top as well. Samoa Joe has vacated the NXT Title due to injury and a new champion had to be crowned. That was taken care of during this week’s edition of NXT.
This week on NXT, Tommaso Ciampa won the NXT Title in a fatal four way match. Ciampa pinned LA Knight in a match that also included Pete Dunne and Von Wagoner. Kyle O’Reilly was originally the fourth participant in the match but was attacked by Dunne and Ridge Holland. As a result, General Manager William Regal inserted Wagoner into the spot in Wagoner’s NXT debut.
He has been here before. Check out Ciampa’s time around the NXT Title:

Backstage Reaction To Big E.’s WWE Title Win

I’d call it a positive. There have been a lot of changes in WWE in recent months and one of the biggest came this week as Big E. became the new WWE Champion. The win marks Big E.’s first World Title in WWE, making him a member of a fairly exclusive club. The win is a long time coming as Big E. has seemed to be ready to break through to the other side for along time now, but how has it been received?
According to PWInsider.com, Big E.’s title win caused a boost in backstage morale for the locker room. Big E. is well liked and the win was seen as a special moment. The wrestlers from SmackDown, where Big E. had been in recent weeks, were said to have wished they could have been in the arena for the win. Big E. cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Bobby Lashley to win the title this week on Monday Night Raw.
I’d say it was big. Check out the win and the fallout:

WWE Re-Signs Former Champion To Long Term Deal

That’s a win for WWE. There have been a lot of roster moves over the last few months in WWE and there is a good chance that several more are coming. Above all else, there is a question of who is going to go where now that AEW has become a new player for wrestlers’ services. WWE has already lost a few names to AEW but they have one important name locked up.
According to Fightful Select, WWE has re-signed Pete Dunne to a new contract, keeping him with the company for several years. This comes after Dunne’s contract was reportedly set to expire later in this year. WWE COO Triple H was said to be directly involved with the contract negotiations. Dunne debuted in WWE in 2016 and is a former NXT United Kingdom Champion and NXT Tag Team Champion.
Dunne has been a star under the WWE banner. Check out what he has done so far:
