Debut announced for this week’s WWE 205 Live
This week’s 205 Live will include the debut of a recent WWE signee.
WWE has announced that Javier Bernal vs. Draco Anthony will air on 205 Live this Friday night. Bernal, whose real name is Randy Jose Beidelschies, is making his debut in the match.
Bernal signed with WWE after taking part in last August’s tryouts in Las Vegas. He went to Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota and was a member of their football team.
In his Instagram bio, Bernal refers to himself as the “First Colombian-American WWE Rockstar.”
Anthony was also signed by WWE after participating in the Las Vegas tryouts. He has wrestled on 205 Live since debuting on the show in November. A video spotlighting Anthony aired on NXT later that month but hasn’t been followed up on.
205 Live airs on Peacock/WWE Network at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Fridays. This week’s show will also feature Bodhi Hayward vs. James Drake and Lash Legend vs. Fallon Henley.
Hayward & Andre Chase are facing The Grizzled Young Veterans (Drake & Zack Gibson) in the first round of the 2022 men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic on NXT next Tuesday.
This is the third match of Legend’s career and the first time she’s wrestled since facing Sarray on 205 Live last month.
