Buddy Murphy vs. Mark Andrews announced for WWE 205 Live
With the tapings taking place in Manchester, England, there will be some involvement from WWE’s United Kingdom division on next week’s 205 Live.
It was announced last night that Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy will face Mark Andrews in a non-title match on next week’s episode.
Murphy’s next challenger was decided on this week’s 205 Live, with Mustafa Ali defeating Tony Nese in a number one contender’s match. When Ali will be getting his title shot against Murphy wasn’t confirmed.
After Ali defeated Nese, there was a post-match angle where Cedric Alexander made the save for Ali. WWE teased Alexander having Ali in position for a Lumbar Check as he was helping him up, but Alexander congratulated Ali and Murphy came out to stare them down as the show ended.
Mickie James & Bobby Lashley vs. Bayley & Finn Balor and Carmella & R-Truth vs. Naomi & Jimmy Uso are set for next week’s Mixed Match Challenge. Nothing has been announced for SmackDown.
