After two WWE 205 Live matches were announced earlier in the day, The Singh Brothers, who were without a match, took to Twitter declaring they would make their presence felt “Bollywood style.” The brothers lived up to their promise by interrupting a hotly anticipated contest between Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush. As a result, Rush and Scott joined forces and faced The Singhs in tag team action.
Rush and Scott crossed paths prior to coming to WWE, but they had yet to square off – or team-up – in a WWE ring. They matched speed and agility early in the contest with Scott trying to use his size to his advantage. However, the two were in a stalemate until The Singh Brothers’ music hit, and the Bollywood stars made their way to the ring. Fed up with The Singhs antics, Scott and Rush went on the offense. Rush then challenged The Singhs to a match, though the brothers insisted they didn’t want to compete.
WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick had other plans, and an impromptu tag team match was made. Scott went on the attack, taking down Sunil Singh. From there, “Swerve” and The Man of the Hour showed off excellent teamwork, putting Sunil on defense until he tagged in Samir. After attacking Rush from behind, Sunil gave his brother the opening to take control.
With the WWE Universe cheering on Rush, the resilient Man of the Hour used his agility to avoid a double team attack to make the tag to Scott.
Wasting no time, “Swerve” unloaded on Sunil and Samir with a flurry of kicks before tagging in Rush, who took down Samir with the Come Up before Scott delivered the House Call, allowing for Rush to score the pinfall victory.
Despite their mutual respect and tag team win, Scott assured Rush they weren’t finished yet.
