Akira Tozawa gets a second chance against Lio Rush

Lio Rush is not happy about his rematch with Akira Tozawa: WWE.com Exclusive, Aug. 7, 2018

Wondering why he has to face Akira Tozawa again, Lio Rush learns that WWE 205 Live General Manager was not impressed with The Man of the Hour's lack of professionalism and respect for Tozawa.

Akira Tozawa will have another opportunity to silence Lio Rush, as WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick has approved a rematch between the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion and The Man of the Hour. After weeks of heated verbal exchanges, Tozawa and Rush squared off in a fast-paced battle that allowed Rush to showcase his abilities against one of the Cruiserweight division’s most elite Superstars.

Narrowly scoring a pinfall by knocking his opponent off the ropes before executing his patented Final Hour, Rush wasn’t interested in giving The Stamina Monster a second chance at victory, claiming that he already proved that Tozawa wasn’t in his league. However, WWE 205 Live General Manager sees things differently, and after some deliberation, has decided to grant Tozawa the rematch against Rush tonight!
