First Round Bracket #3: Cedric Alexander vs. Sami Zayn
In RAW's third bracket match, it's experience and trickery vs. youth and athleticism when Sami Zayn takes on former 205 Live Superstar Cedric Alexander.
The two men have faced each other before, especially on the indie circuit when Zayn was wearing a mask and calling himself El Generico.
Alexander brings a lot to the table. Far stronger than his small frame would suggest, the former Cruiserweight champion can do just about anything in the ring, from high flying to technical precision to power moves, like his Lumbar Check finisher.
Zayn has been in the wrestling business for over ten years. The wily veteran can adapt to a variety of styles, and is an underrated technical wrestler with a deep moveset. If those fail, he will readily resort to cheap shots and cheating.
Predicted Winner: Cedric Alexander
Cedric has been featured prominently on WWE television in recent months, and even holds some victories over chosen one Drew McIntyre. By contrast Zayn hasn't done much since his split with Kevin Owens. All signs point toward an Alexander victory here.
