Jacket Time set for action on WWE 205 Live, Erica Yan to debut

The team of Kushida & Ikemen Jiro are set for action on this week’s episode of 205 Live.

Kushida & Jiro will face The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake) on 205 Live this Friday night. In a video that was uploaded by WWE after this week’s NXT, it was revealed that Kushida & Jiro are now using the tag team name “Jacket Time.”

Kushida & Jiro have been feuding with Diamond Mine in NXT. They’re set to face Diamond Mine’s Creed Brothers (Julius & Brutus Creed) in a tag team match on NXT next Tuesday.

Diamond Mine’s Roderick Strong won the NXT Cruiserweight Championship from Kushida on NXT this September. Strong will face Ru Feng in non-title action on this Friday’s 205 Live.

205 Live airs on Peacock/WWE Network at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Fridays. Valentina Feroz vs. the debuting Erica Yan is also set for the episode. Yan (Yvonne Yin) was one of three recruits from Asia who joined the WWE Performance Center this July. Feng (Feicheng Wang) was also part of that class.

WWE wrote about Yan when she signed with the company: “Yin is a Chinese athlete who brings experience in CrossFit to the PC. In addition to being a champion indoor rower, Yin placed second in the CrossFit China Open and competed in the Asia CrossFit Championship.”
