WWE 205 LIVE Results: January 16th, 2018
205 LIVE may no longer film at the end of SmackDown LIVE, but it's still on immediately after SmackDown LIVE on the WWE Network and the Zo-Train keeps on rolling as Enzo Amore's Cruiserweight Title rematch against challenger Cedric Alexander at the Royal Rumble draws nearer.
On tonight's show, Cedric's newest ally, Goldust conducts a special interview with the man he's started mentoring and TJP looks to get retribution after suffering a loss to Gran Metalik. That's about it.

The finish came when TJP reversed the Metalik Driver and attempted a Double-Underhook set-up, only to get rolled up by Metalik who got the three count, much to the shock of TJP
Result: Gran Metalik Def. TJ Perkins
After the match, Dasha approaches TJP for an interview about his loss, but he appears to be crying and walks off, in a bizarre backstage segment.
