4. Brian Kendrick
Kendrick often refers to himself as ‘The’ Brian Kendrick. After a phenomenal show at Survivor Series, Kendrick absolutely deserves that title. Not only did he thrive under the spotlight; Kendrick also did whatever he needed to do to ensure the Cruiserweight division stays on Raw.
One of the very few well-developed characters on the Cruiserweight division, Kendrick portrayed a great heel. He was vicious and cunning. Corey Graves would describe Kendrick’s character perfectly during the match.
"“There’s a fine line between madness and genius; Brian Kendrick dances on it.”"
His heel antiques would eventually establish the tone of the match. On top of that, it clearly established Kalisto as someone for whom the fans could cheer for. Had it not been for Baron Corbin, Kalisto could have headed back to SmackDown with the Cruiserweight title and the entire division with him. Kalisto equally deserved to go on this list too. However, at the end of the day, it was Brian Kendrick who gave character and tone to this highly entertaining match.
