By Richard Trionfo on 2017-09-05 22:54:00

We get comments from the five participants in the Elimination Match to determine the number one contender for Neville's title at No Mercy.

We are in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and your announcers are Nigel McGuinness and Vic Joseph.

Ariya Daivari says last week that scrawny TJP cost him his match against Rich Swann so he is going to inflict pain on TJ over and over until he needs the crutches again.

Before the match starts, Rich Swann comes to the ring and he has some popcorn with him as he takes a seat on the announce table.

Match Number One:  TJ Perkins versus Ariya Daivari

They lock up and Daivari with punches and kicks in the corner.  Daivari with a chop and Perkins goes to the ropes and apron.  Perkins brings Daivari over the top rope to the floor.  Perkins with a slingshot drop kick to knock Daivari off the apron.  Daivari sends Perkins into the turnbuckles and hits a reverse DDT for a near fall.  Daivari with a back breaker for a near fall.  Daviari stretches Perkins.  Perkins with a mule kick to get out of the hold.

After the match, Swann goes into the ring and has some words for Perkins and then he dabs in front of TJ before leaving the ring.

We see footage of last week's match between Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher from last week.

We see Drew Gulak walking in the back and he is handing out pamphlets.

We go to commercial.

We are back and TJ Perkins will face Rich Swann next week on 205 Live.

Drew says he is here to spread the good word.  Drew says he believes in freedom of expression and he is here to talk about a better 205 Live.  Through all of his struggles, what has he gotten?  What he hasn't gotten is a shot in the Fatal Five Way to get a shot to face Neville at No Mercy.  Drew says he knows what you are thinking.  Why is the WWE stifling your great ideas by keeping you out of the title picture.  People fear what they cannot understand. 

Drew has something powerful and fun . . . a power point presentation.  

The first thing is no moves off the top rope.  The second thing is no jumping off the middle rope.  It is showboating at its second worst.  Third, . . . 

Drew is interrupted by Tozawa's music

Winner:  Akira Tozawa

We go to the interview area with Enzo Amore.  Enzo says he looks smart but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Enzo is 3-0.  He is asked if he can measure up to a Neville or Cedric Alexander.  Enzo says he hasn't traveled the world for ten years on the indies and they are in the same place.  He is working smarter.  He is putting 205 Live on the map.  He is locked in for the Cruiserweight Title.  Enzo says he is not taking anyone lightly.  

Neville interrupts and he asks Enzo if he is amusing and as ridiculous as you look.  205 Live is for serious competitors and serious athletes.  Enzo, you are not serious.  Neville tells Enzo you have no business entertaining the idea that you belong in the same ring.

Enzo says this isn't Game of Thrones and he will win the title at No Mercy.
