WWE launched 205 Live Tuesday on the WWE Network immediately after SmackDown, and Rich Swann capped the night by taking Brian Kendrick's Cruiserweight title.
Swann has an unbelievable story that was told in an emotional promo just before the match started. Swann lost both of his parents as a teenager, and during an in-ring interview after his match, he thanked his mother.
"If there's one woman I would like to thank, it'd be my mom. I know she's looking down on me right now, and she might not be here but she's here with us in spirit. This one was for you, mom."
