Before battling for the WWE Cruiserweight Title, Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali team up against Drew Gulak and TJP on Raw.

The Cruiserweights have been conspicuous by their absence the last several weeks on Raw, and with good reason: The revamped 205 Live has played host to a tournament for the vacant WWE Cruiserweight Championship, with Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali advancing to a final battle at WrestleMania. On Raw, however, “The Heart and Soul of 205 Live” put aside their friendly rivalry to team against Drew Gulak & TJP in a thrilling match that was half-exhibition, half-one-upsmanship between the two dynamic high-flyers.

With 205 Live’s General Manager/breathless hype man Drake Maverick at commentary, Ali and Gulak battled to a stalemate, leading TJP and Alexander to re-enter the fray. And even though Ali provided a crucial assist to his partner when Gulak ran interference, he ended the match a little bit on the sneaky side, making an under-the-table tag moments before a rolling Cedric blasted TJP with the Lumbar Check.

A confused Alexander was forced to cede the ring to Ali, and he bemusedly watched from the apron as his WrestleMania opponent finished the job with an 054 to The Fil-Am Flash. A display of Ali’s prowess for the WWE Universe, or a warning to Cedric of what awaits him at The Show of Shows? No reason it can't be both.
