Drake Maverick is coming back to WWE 205 Live.
The former general manager will be in action againsy Asher Hale on Friday night. Maverick hasn’t competed on the brand since January, as he had fully moved to NXT in recent months. He served as the show’s general manager for over two years, dating back to his WWE debut in 2017.
Plus, Ikemen Jiro will face Grayson Waller in a singles match.
Tomorrow night on #205Live!
👊 @WWEMaverick vs. @AsherhaleWWE

The full announcement from WWE’s official website is as follows:
An exciting edition of the purple brand is set to feature a collision between former 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick and Asher Hale, as well as a battle between two eccentric competitors in Ikemen Jiro and Grayson Waller.
It seems entire possible — if not probable — that Waller is holding some resentment for his next opponent, as Jiro was selected to compete in the NXT Breakout Tournament and Waller was not.
Though Waller has been quick to shout, “I’ve already broken out!” to anyone who will listen, the Australian competitor will undoubtedly be looking to make a statement at Jiro’s expense, particularly after losing each of his last two matches.
Whether competing in singles or tag team action, Jiro has posted several impressive victories since debuting in May and remains undefeated on 205 Live. Just like Waller, however, Jiro is looking to bounce back from a loss, as he was knocked out of the NXT Breakout Tournament in the first round by Duke Hudson.
WrestleZone will have coverage of the show once it airs on Friday night.
