Cedric Alexander (c) Vs Mustafa Ali- Cruiserweight Championship
While I’m not sure I can take another 20 minutes of the commentators ramming ‘The heart and the soul’ down my throat, the rise of Mustafa Ali has been one of the best stories on 205 Live this year, and it would be nice to provide his arc with a big pay-off.
The two men put on an excellent battle at WrestleMania, and could probably go one better if they were given a longer amount of time at SummerSlam.
Alexander is an excellent Cruiserweight champion, and he is one of the brand’s most consistent performers, but Ali seems destined to get hold of the belt at some point in 2018.

The Authors of Pain Vs The Deleters of Worlds (C)- Raw Tag Team Championship
WWE seems to have lost interest in the Raw tag team division as of late. The champions have barely been on TV over the last few weeks, and The Authors of Pain, who are one of the most promising tag teams in the WWE today, have not been seen on TV for over a month.
This one is arguably more in hope than expectation, but the company would be crazy to allow The Authors of Pain to end up in a similar situation to that of The Revival or The Ascension, who were both teams fans had high hopes for when they first made their debuts on the main roster.
The WWE needs to book The Authors of Pain to look dominant, and they should begin rolling their way to the tag team division en-route to a tag team title shot at SummerSlam very soon. Hardy and Wyatt are fine as a novelty act, but they’re not exactly helping the tag team division flourish right now.
