Heavy Machinery vs. The Bollywood Boyz

Result: Heavy Machinery defeated The Bollywood Boyz via pinfall.

Rating: Squash

Once upon a time, Harv and Gurv Sihra participated in the first-ever match on WWE 205 Live. They even won, but that was the last time anyone saw them on a main roster show. These two have since moved to NXT and have hardly been seen since.

Not so sure if the Bollywood Boyz were supposed to come into this as heels, but they received some heat from the fans during their entrance. Crowd sounds were either toned down or just completely quiet, but their microphone definitely seemed lower than usual.

The fans seem to like Heavy Machinery. They’re two big, goofy Superstars that kind of look larger than life, but have that everyday man’s look.

The team made up of Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic are proving to be fun, while also having the ability to be taken seriously. With the Revival moving up, there’s plenty of room for them to make an impact.

Oney Lorcan Interview

Lorcan says he doesn’t know who his opponent is, but he’s here to win. Good to see him getting more air time over the past few weeks, although it hasn’t led to much.
