- It’s worth noting that Hideo Itami did not use his GTS finisher to defeat Jack Gallagher on last night’s WWE 205 Live episode. Itami wrestled Jack Gallagher in the opening contest and defeated him with a variation of Neville’s Rings of Saturn submission. As noted, Itami broke Brian Kendrick’s nose and orbital bone with the GTS during the finish to their match on Monday’s RAW. Below is video from last night’s Itami vs. Gallagher match:
