Number one contender's match set for WWE 205 Live

A number one contender’s match is set for next week’s 205 Live.

Last night’s episode ended with the announcement that Mustafa Ali will be facing Tony Nese next week. The winner will get a future shot at Buddy Murphy’s Cruiserweight Championship.

Nese has been aligned with Murphy in storyline and was set up as a challenger for the title when he defeated Cedric Alexander, Lio Rush, TJP, and Gran Metalik in a fatal five-way match on the October 17 edition of 205 Live. Nese facing Ali in the number one contender’s match was announced after Ali defeated Hideo Itami in a falls count anywhere match this week.

Brian Kendrick vs. Jack Gallagher has also been announced for next week’s 205 Live. Kendrick has been feuding with Drew Gulak and Gallagher since the angle where they turned against him earlier this month.

Next Tuesday’s 205 Live tapings (and SmackDown and Mixed Match Challenge episodes) are being held at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. 205 Live is currently airing on the WWE Network on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
