WrestleMania 34 Predictions Extravaganza: Match order, match length and winners

#2 Cruiserweight Championship Match - Cedric Alexander vs Mustafa Ali

While I'd LOVE this match to be on the main card and think it will be incredible, I think it's the second and final pre-show match.

205 Live has been completely revamped recently and the tournament to crown a new champion has pumped new blood into the brand.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

However, with less Cruiserweight action on Raw, as a result, this match may not be seen as the mainstream hit to keep the crowd as hot - so I think it goes on second.

I do think we will see a 25-minute match, though, and this one could go either way. A few months ago, I was certain that Alexander would win, but I think the pendulum has well and truly swung in the favour of Mustafa Ali recently - particularly in his campaign to change perceptions and just his "promo" style.

I think Ali will win this incredible contest to become the new Cruiserweight Champion and the face of the brand. He's the perfect face to draw out a new monster heel from the roster - much like Neville was last year.
