It’s been a rough couple of weeks for TJ Perkins, who not only suffered the deciding pinfall in last week’s Cruiserweight tag team match, but also fell short of an opportunity to reclaim the WWE Cruiserweight Title at WrestleMania on 205 Live.
The Brian Kendrick added to TJP’s woes on Raw by defeating his old protégé, negating an energetic effort when he yanked a handful of The Fil-Am Flash’s hair before administering Sliced Bread No. 2 for a quick victory.
Kendrick even served an L to the absent Akira Tozawa, revealing that he’d prevented The Stamina Monster from coming to Raw by stealing his passport off the locker room floor. This, of course, was just Kendrick’s latest lesson for the Japanese suplex machine: Be careful what you leave lying around.
