The last title match at the PPV will see WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy taking on challenger Akira Tozawa for the title. Ever since he won the Cruiserweight title by beating Cedric Alexander in his hometown Melbourne, Australia, Murphy has done a remarkable job as a champion and has put on some quality matches against the likes of Alexander, Mustafa Ali, Hideo Itami, Kalisto, etc.

After beating almost all the top guys in the roster, Murphy had requested the WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick to give him only the best opponents from all over the world, such as Humberto Carrillo.

Carrillo got his chance to challenge Buddy for the title as he was pitted against Tozawa, Alexander and Lio Rush in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match on WWE 205 Live to earn the opportunity to challenge Murphy for the championship in which the Japanese wrestler came out victorious to set up a title clash at the Elimination Chamber PPV.

Prediction: This match will be in the kick-off show and in all likelihood, Buddy Murphy will come out victorious and will hold the title at least till WrestleMania.
