WWE 205 Live will be presenting it first-ever house show events this weekend in Lowell, Massachusettes and in Poughkeepsie, New York. The Lowell event takes place on Saturday, January 20th at the Memorial Auditorium and the Poughkeepsie event takes place on Sunday, January 21st at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.
According to the arena websites, the events will be headlined by Enzo Amore vs Cedric Alexander for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, with Nia Jax acting as the special guest referee for the matches. WWE had originally advertised Enzo vs Kalisto for the events, but the arena websites are listing Alexander.
Also set for both shows is Woken Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt in a special attraction match, and Hideo Itami, Jack Gallagher, Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Akira Tozawa, TJP, Drew Gulak, Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese and Mustafa Ali are all set to appear on the shows. New “Cruiserweight” Goldust is also expected to appear.
With regards to the future of the WWE 205 Live house shows, The Wrestling Observer speculates it does not look good in terms of more events taking place, as WWE has yet to announce February dates, they stopped promoting the live events, canceled the first scheduled date, and needed to add Wyatt, Jax, Hardy and Goldust to boost ticket sales.
