A team forged out of respect

Lio Rush vs. Raul Mendoza: WWE 205 Live, Nov. 8, 2019

After both Superstars requested a rematch, NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush once again hopes to defeat Raul Mendoza in non-title competition before he defends the title against Angel Garza next week on WWE NXT.

For two consecutive weeks on WWE 205 Live, NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush and Raul Mendoza tore the house down. Although The Man of the Hour emerged victorious in both contests, Mendoza certainly earned the champion’s respect. As a result of the mutual respect between the two competitors, they will join forces against WWE 205 Live originals Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari.

Both Nese and Daivari have their sights set on the NXT Cruiserweight Championship and a victory against Rush and Mendoza would only help in making their case.

Can Rush and Mendoza co-exist, or will Nese and Daivari prove they can work better as a team?
