#4 Brian Kendrick should retain
When Brian Kendrick captured the WWE Cruiserweight title from TJ Perkins, it was a case of the truest heel and oldest cruiserweight in the division, doing whatever was necessary to win the championship. Something that has been sadly missing from the cruiserweight division is the development of the characters within it.
The only exception could be Kendrick; he has been presented as someone that is closing in on forty and battling hard because this could be his ‘last chance'. As a result, he is willing to throw friendships aside in his pursuit of success.
So why would the company dedicate so much time to him just to have him lose the title?
As announced by Daniel Bryan on the November 8th edition of SmackDown Live, he will defend against Kalisto, and if Kalisto wins, then the entire cruiserweight division would come to the blue brand. With Raw being the longer show, it has more time to dedicate to the division.
So it seems more fitting to have them stay where they are, rather than come to the shorter program in Smackdown Live.
