205 Live News: Oney Lorcan Enters Tournament, Mike Kanellis Frustrated, Next Week’s Matches
The rest of the 205 Live tournament is set.
As announced on Tuesday’s episode of 205 Live, Oney Lorcan will face Humberto Carrillo in the first round of the Cruiserweight Tournament to crown a number one contender for Buddy Murphy’s Cruiserweight Title. The final first round bout will pit Akira Tozawa against Cedric Alexander.
Mike Kanellis is scheduled to be in action next week as well, but not part of the tournament. And he’s not happy about it.
So I have a match next week & it’s not a tournament match.I’d like to say I’m surprised,but at this point it’s just par for the course.Nice to know guys who aren’t even on the 205 roster get shots at Wrestlemania over me. I’m really sick of the blatant disrespect. https://t.co/isBVzwtvBR
