It was announced on WWE.com that Cedric Alexander won’t have to do any waiting around for his shot at the Cruiserweight Championship. He gets his opportunity to take the purple and silver away from Enzo next week on Christmas. I did predict that he will be the next CW Champion, but I don’t think they are going to do it next week.

I have seen some people complain about how WWE has been doing so much of the important cruiserweight stuff on RAW instead of 205 Live, but I think it’s for the best. It gets more eyes on these men, and it makes them look more important. Originally their appearances on RAW were usually just quick advertisements to try to get people to watch 205 Live the following night. Nothing important really happened, and most of the big matches and storyline development occurred on Tuesday after SmackDown.

Far fewer people watch that show than RAW, so when they tried to follow-up with their 205 Live stories on Monday nights, people had no idea what was going on. Now they are doing stories on both shows, but the stuff that happens on Tuesday nights isn’t extremely important to the point where it’s necessary viewing to know what is going on when they show up on RAW.

I believe that the storyline stuff should mostly stay on RAW and that 205 Live should be completely different. Make it 95% wrestling and cut out the talking and story stuff for the most part. I bet more people would watch it, because it would remind them of the very successful Cruiserweight Classic.
