Raul Mendoza set for tag match on WWE 205 Live
Another NXT wrestler is set to appear on tonight’s episode of 205 Live.
WWE has announced that Raul Mendoza will be teaming with Humberto Carrillo against The Lucha House Party (Kalisto & Gran Metalik) tonight. It’s being billed as an NXT vs. 205 Live match, though Carrillo is also regularly on 205 Live.
Mendoza & Carrillo have previously teamed together in NXT.
This will be the first time Mendoza has wrestled on 205 Live. After taking part in the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016 and losing to Brian Kendrick in the first round, Mendoza signed with WWE in 2017.
Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak is facing NXT’s Isaiah “Swerve” Scott (Shane Strickland) in a non-title match on tonight’s 205 Live. There will also be a contract signing for Drake Maverick vs. Mike Kanellis.
WWE has yet to announce when Maverick vs. Kanellis will take place. If Kanellis wins, he’ll get a shot at the Cruiserweight title.
The American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida is hosting tonight’s SmackDown and 205 Live.
