The first-ever non-televised WWE 205 Live Event took place last Saturday night at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, Massachusetts. According to an inside correspondent, there was an estimate of about 800 fans in the building for the opening bell but adds that it looked like there was around 1,000-1,100 fans at intermission. Another correspondent estimated that there was around 800-900 fans. The building is said to have a capacity of 2,800 seats but that number is likely reduced just a bit for wrestling shows.
The event had just 6 matches on the card – Hideo Itami defeating Jack Gallagher, Gran Metalik & Kalisto defeating TJP & Drew Gulak, Matt Hardy defeating Bray Wyatt before intermission, Akira Tozawa defeating Ariya Daivari, Mustafa Ali defeating Tony Nese and WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore defeating Cedric Alexander, thanks to an assist from special referee Nia Jax, who hit Alexander with a Samoan Drop. JoJo was the ring announcer.
Below are a few pictures from the event:
