#2 Cedric Alexander and Samoa Joe advance into the next round of the KOTR Tournament
WWE announced last week that the legendary King Of The Ring Tournament would be returning this month. However, it's not going to be a pay-per-view event this time. The qualifying matches will take place at RAW and SmackDown, leading to the finale at WWE Clash Of Champions. It will feature 16 wrestlers.

Tonight, the journey to become the King Of The Ring will commence on RAW. The first two bouts are scheduled for tonight's show, which will be Samoa Joe vs. Cesaro and Cedric Alexander vs. Sami Zayn.
Samoa Joe vs. Cesaro has a clear winner. We all know that The Swiss Cyborg is just there to fill a spot. Besides, Vince McMahon does not seem interested in pushing him. Moreover, Joe has started to get a lot of victories since last week. It's imminent that his winning streak will continue tonight on RAW.
Moving on to Alexander vs. Zayn, this bout also has a clear winner. Sami Zayn has lost countless matches in WWE, and another loss will be added to his record book tonight on RAW. In addition, Paul Heyman is very supportive of Alexander, so we can expect the former Cruiserweight Champion to advance into the next round of the King Of The Ring Tournament.
Whatever the result is going to be, let's hope WWE gives both these matches enough time, because they certainly have the potential to steal the show.
