Tonight’s episode of 205 Live started with the commentary team noting Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann would not be appearing due to not being medically cleared. Swann is likely selling injuries after being attacked by Neville.
RAW vs Smackdown
RAW featured Goldberg’s return and Bayley winning a title shot against Charlotte at the Royal Rumble. Smackdown featured John Cena and AJ Styles’ contract signing, and Dean Ambrose’s Intercontinental Championship win. Now that both shows are in the books, we ask: who won this week’s WWE brand split war?
