Jiro to take on Baxter, Waller to battle Chase on 205 Live

Published Aug. 27, 2021 3:44 p.m. ET

A must-see edition of 205 Live is set to feature a pair of exciting singles bouts, as Ikemen Jiro will look to continue his hot streak against Trey Baxter, while Grayson Waller is primed to tangle with Andre Chase.

One of the most popular Superstars on the purple brand, Jiro recently suffered his first defeat on 205 Live, losing to Waller in controversial fashion. The eccentric competitor seemingly didn’t dwell on the setback, however, as evidenced by his decisive win against Chase the following week.

Baxter, who made it to the semifinals of the NXT Breakout Tournament before being eliminated by the colossal Odyssey Jones, is seeking a return to the winner’s circle in what should be a thrilling affair.

Waller has had a bit of an up-and-down tenure ever since coming to 205 Live, winning his first three matches, losing his next four, defeating Jiro, and losing to Joe Gacy. The outspoken competitor never met an opponent that he didn’t like to trash-talk, and that figures to continue when he’s opposed by the hard-hitting Chase.

Chase will be making his third appearance on the purple brand, having defeating Guru Raaj in his debut before dropping a competitive match against Jiro last week.

Don’t miss a thrilling edition of 205 Live, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
