Danny Burch defeats The Brian Kendrick

205 Live January 31

Kendrick rolled to the outside as soon as the bell rang. Kendrick looked to get a sneak attack, but Burch caught him and eventually sent Kendrick into the stairs. Burch continued to launch Kendrick into the barricade. The distractions from Daivari eventually worked out and Kendrick assumed an advantage targeting the left leg.

When Kendrick went for a figure four, Burch shoved Kendrick away, but couldn’t turn the match around. Burch got some offense in with a clothesline in the corner, a high kick, and a missile drop kick. Moments later, Burch nailed Kendrick with a headbutt and locked in a crossface.

Daivari hit the ring and caused a disqualification. Oney Lorcan hit the ring to prevent the beating that Daivari and Kendrick planned to dish out after the match.
