Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander have both had some serious issues with Buddy Murphy and Tony Nese over the past few months. Alexander lost his championship to Murphy, then lost to Tony Nese in his next match. Ali has been working to take the Cruiserweight Championship all year, bringing him into epic feuds with both Murphy and Nese throughout 2018. However, since whoever picked up the pinfall tonight would probably get a shot at the belt, would these two friends be able to work together, or would greed drive them apart?
