While Tuesday marked Kushida’s 205 Live debut, he is no stranger to the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak. Kushida has had multiple battles with Gulak in NXT and EVOLVE.
At EVOLVE 134, Kushida challenged Gulak for the Cruiserweight Title. Even though Kushida has gotten the better of most of their battles, it was Gulak’s night in the EVOLVE 134 main event as he escaped with a pinfall victory.
It’s unclear if Kushida is permanently part of the 205 Live roster.
In other news from 205 Live, Dio Maddin, aka former NFL player Brennan Williams, has joined the commentary team, replacing Nigel McGuinness.
