#2 Cedric Alexander

Cedric Alexander walked a long road to reach the pinnacle of the cruiserweight division. Ever since 2016, the WWE Universe has waited to witness the former ROH megastar carry a title that would’ve benefitted from being associated with a skillful wrestler such as himself, and at WrestleMania, WWE finally crowned Cedric as the new Cruiserweight Champion.
Now that Alexander is going to face Kalisto at the Greatest Royal Rumble, WWE cant have Alexander drop the title to Kalisto just for the cheapness of 'shock value.' Moreover, while it seems unlikely that Kalisto would ever get a second run with the Cruiserweight Title, WWE has been known for their unpredictable booking in 2018.
Therefore, Cedric needs to make a successful title defense and prove he is the right star to lead the division forward, as opponents such as TJP, Hideo Itami and Buddy Murphy can all challenge the heart of 205 Live.
