If Cedric Alexander wins the tournament he would a get a chance for having a second reign for the Cruiserweight title. Cedric first won the then-vacated title at WrestleMania 34 on April 8, 2018 by defeating Mustafa Ali in a tournament final.
Buddy Murphy has been champion since October 6 when he won the title at the Super Show-Down event in Melbourne, Australia from Cedric Alexander. Murphy has held the title for 157 days at the time of this writing. Murphy has been appearing only in video promos on 205 Live and hasn’t made a ring appearance in a few weeks.
