Austin Aries marked his arrival on the WWE 205 Live roster with a victory over Tony Nese.

Aries, who attacked Cruiserweight Champion Neville on Raw, beat Nese with a Roaring Elbow after the New Yorker accepted his open challenge.

The former NXT star, now medically cleared to compete after suffering a broken orbital socket, had earlier been told by Neville that he was unwilling to face him in a match.

Jack Gallagher and Rich Swann, defeated by Neville in Cruiserweight Title matches at Fastlane and on Raw respectively, conquered Noam Dar and Ariya Daivari - Swann pinning Dar following a Phoenix Splash.

Plus, Akira Tozawa beat Bryan Kendrick - not The Brian Kendrick.

The Japanese wrestler believed he would face The Wizard of Odd but Kendrick revealed that he would face his near namesake instead - Tozawa winning with a Snap German Suplex.
