Defending the honor of The Lucha House Party, Gran Metalik battles his nemesis TJP, but Maria Kanellis sets up the perfect opportunity for The Cruisergreat and Mike Kanellis.

Returning to action after celebrating the birth of his child, Gran Metalik finally had his long-awaited opportunity to defend the honor of The Lucha House Party and battle TJP. The Cruisergreat didn’t want to face The King of the Ropes in recent weeks, citing his victory in the finals of the Cruiserweight Classic as evidence that he’s already proven he’s better than Metalik. However, after forming an alliance with Maria and Mike Kanellis, TJP reconsidered and decided to lock up with The King of the Ropes after all.

As Metalik and The Lucha House Party awaited TJP, they were instead greeted by Maria Kanellis, who heralded the arrival of her husband and The Cruisergreat, both wearing masks stolen from The Lucha House Party. Seeing the ultimate sign of disrespect, The Lucha House Party charged up the entrance ramp ready for a fight. WWE 205 Live General Drake Maverick raced out to cut them off and barely stopped what would have been a wild brawl. Maverick removed Maria, Mike, Kalisto and Lince Dorado to ensure the match between TJP and Metalik would take place.

Fired up, Metalik immediately dropkicked his opponent out of the ring and flattened him with a high-flying maneuver. The King of the Ropes remained relentless, not allowing his opponent a moment to catch his breath. However, the first-ever WWE Cruiserweight Champion countered Metalik’s offense and began to soften him up with his unique technical ability.

Seizing an opportunity to finally apply the kneebar, TJP grew frustrated after Metalik made his way to the ropes, breaking the hold. Grabbing one of The Lucha House Party’s pinata’s, The Cruisergreat was stopped in his tracks, but his opponent quickly capitalized by reversing a hurricanrana and scoring the pinfall.

After the match, Kalisto and Lince Dorado made their way into the ring to celebrate with Metalik. However, their attention was diverted to the entranceway, where Maria Kanellis was in the midst of a meltdown as Drake Maverick was trying to calm her down. The commotion allowed Mike Kanellis to sneak into the ring with a steel chair and attack The Lucha House Party. As Kanellis leveled Kalisto and Dorado, TJP applied the kneebar to Metalik. Revealing her ruse, Maria made her way into the ring as her husband attacked Metalik with the steel chair. As officials came to the aid of The Lucha House Party, TJP and the Kanellis couple left the arena, happily surveying the carnage.
