Setting his sights on dominating the Cruiserweight division, Ariya Daivari battles Johnny Lyons to showcase his abilities.

Just weeks after his shocking attack on his supposed ally Hideo Itami, Ariya Daivari made his intentions to dominate the Cruiserweight division clear, setting his sights on Johnny Lyons. After taunting the WWE Universe, Daivari entered the ring ready for action, quickly striking his opponent with fiery aggression. Lyons tried to use Daivari’s ferociousness to his advantage with quick attacks, but The Persian Lion proved to be too much.

After decimating Lyons with a Hammerlock Lariat, Daivari applied a variation of The Million Dollar Dream for the submission win.
