Joaquin Wilde def. Raul Mendoza
Since joining WWE 205 Live last year, Raul Mendoza has earned the respect of the Cruiserweight division, including former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush, and has sights set on a potential title opportunity. However, standing in Mendoza’s way tonight was another young Superstar looking to make a name for himself, Joaquin Wilde.
Mendoza attempted to slow the pace and assert his strength advantage to keep his opponent grounded. Wilde battled back, breaking Mendoza’s technical holds before hip tossing his opponent to the outside and flattening him with a jaw-dropping flipping senton over the top rope. Turning up the pace of the contest, Wilde enjoyed an advantage until he was once again stopped in his tracks by Mendoza.
Wilde displayed his resilience and remained in the battle, seizing the opportunity to plant Mendoza with a reverse rana before executing the Wilde Thing for the win.
