In his Raw debut, Austin Aries takes on the cunning Ariya Daivari in Cruiserweight action.

Austin Aries def. Ariya Daivari

Punching Neville in the face with a microphone was just the beginning for Austin Aries, who now has two consecutive wins under his belt. After a successful 205 Live debut, Aries picked up his first-ever win on Monday Night Raw at the expense of Ariya Daivari. The world-traveled Superstar put on quite a clinic against his wily opponent, brutalizing The Persian Lion with a pendulum elbow, suicide-dive clothesline and his discus elbow for the win. The groundwork has been laid, and if Aries prevails in tomorrow night’s Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match, he’ll earn a WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match at WrestleMania. Time to let that greatness shine through.
