#2 Tony Nese wins the Cruiserweight Championship

Tony Nese's story heading into WrestleMania 35 has been well-told. 205 Live has certainly done right by him as he heads into The Show of Shows and the biggest match of his career. If anyone should take the title from Buddy Murphy at this juncture, it's him.

Of course, Murphy losing the title would be a net negative for 205 Live. It's far from hyperbole to say that his rediscovery has been the best thing that the purple brand has ever done. Yet, now he feels too big for WWE's forgotten brand. If Mustafa Ali got the chance to move up, by right, Buddy Murphy should too. Murphy's loss would be bad for 205, but the best thing for him, which is what matters most.


#3 The Usos retain the SmackDown Tag Team Titles

There's a decent chance The Usos drop their titles on Sunday, given their nebulous contract status, but it wouldn't be the right thing for SmackDown at this juncture. The Bar just had a reign, Nakamura and Rusev feel very much like they're there to get pinned, and Black and Ricochet, possibly the favorites to win, should not.

Black and Ricochet are better as singles stars, and they should set out on that course rather than being stuck as a tag team for too long. If the tag team division had been better, things might be different, but fans have been so conditioned to not care about doubles acts that staying as a team for too long will hurt the NXT standouts.
