WWE 205 Live recap for April 2, 2019: Akira Tozawa vs Mike Kanellis

5. Last words before WrestleMania

The show ends with the commentary team discussing the importance of the Cruiserweight Championship match at WrestleMania. A video package airs looking at Tony Nese’s journey to winning the No. 1 contender’s tournament by defeating Kalisto and Cedric Alexander. Nese’s long struggle from the initial Cruiserweight Classic to getting his biggest match on the biggest stage is recognized.

Buddy Murphy’s attack on Nese is featured as well. The words of Murphy claiming he is the greatest cruiserweight in WWE history is played in the background of the footage. We also get another look of their brawl at the Performance Center last week.

Murphy states that he will prove that Nese was always his sidekick during their friendship and partnership. Nese says that he plans to stop the unstoppable champion and win the Cruiserweight Championship to validate his 16 years of hard work getting to this moment.

Next week’s 205 Live will feature the fallout of Nese vs Murphy at WrestleMania 35!
