205 Live + NXT

WWE 205 Live

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Corey Graves, & Austin Aries.
-"The Premiere Athlete" Tony Nese(w/ Drew Gulak) d. Cedric Alexander(w/ Alicia Fox); Alexander was distracted by an altercation between Alicia and Gulak on the floor and Nese took advantage with an uppercut palm strike to win (6:03).
-Backstage:  Alicia was upset about being ejected from ringside, but "The Scottish Supernova" Noam Dar tried to cheer her up with some mistletoe...that earned him a slap to the face (and then another).
-Backstage earlier today:  Renee Young did a sitdown interview with Adrian Neville; Neville was frustrated about being overlooked for the Cruiserweight Classic and he felt like the fans looked down on him.  He said that he was used to fighting bigger opponents, so the cruiserweight division should be a "dawdle" for him.
