Oney Lorcan appears on WWE 205 Live, joins cruiserweight division

Oney Lorcan is officially part of the 205 Live roster.

After Lorcan appeared on tonight’s 205 Live episode, WWE uploaded a video where Drake Maverick announced that Lorcan has joined the cruiserweight division and will be wrestling on NXT and 205 Live going forward.

Lorcan was involved in the show-closing angle on this week’s 205 Live. He came out before the bell rang for Cedric Alexander vs. Ariya Daivari and sat at ringside for the match. After Alexander hit a dive to the floor, he accidentally knocked Lorcan’s jacket off of the announce table. Lorcan got mad at Alexander and yelled at him, leading to Daivari rolling up Alexander to win.

Lorcan and Alexander brawled after the match, with Lorcan giving Alexander a cheap shot as officials tried to break it up.

Alexander defeated Lorcan in the semifinals of 205 Live’s number one contender’s tournament. Tony Nese won the tournament and will challenge for Buddy Murphy’s Cruiserweight Championship at WrestleMania 35.
