WWE 205 Live Results: Solo Sikoa in action, Debutant makes an impact
This week's edition of WWE 205 Live featured NXT Superstar Solo Sikoa in the main event against Malik Blade, who debuted back in September and has been impressive in the ring. However, he has been unable to secure a single win since. Against Blade, Sikoa looked to extend his ongoing winning streak.
Amari Miller has a mixed record on the purple brand. After beating Erica Yan, she looked to be getting back on track but faced a tough challenge from Lash Legend, who made her 205 Live debut. We also saw Andre Chase battle the returning Guru Raaj.
