In the second quarter-final match of the evening, Cedric Alexander will compete against Baron Corbin. Cedric has been on a winning streak, lately that make him the initial favorite to win the match. However, WWE.com pointed out a significant problem for him heading into the contest,
“One question mark lingers over the match: a leg that took an absolute pounding during Cedric’s victory over Cesaro last week and is sure to be a big target for the man who is already calling himself King Corbin. Alexander shouldn’t be counted out, but facing a healthy, motivated Corbin does hand him a pre-match disadvantage, and he’ll need all of his heart to overcome it.”
Reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter already stated that it’s a created angle that is likely to be the reason behind Cedric’s loss on WWE Raw. Corbin would target the legs that might take the former Cruiserweight Champion in an incompetent state. This will ensure that Cedric does not suffer a clean pinfall loss.
Sasha Banks made her intentions clear upon her WWE Raw comeback that people would be talking about her. That’s exactly how the situation is as the vicious attacks on Natalya let out the beast within her. But Sasha also made a clear implication that her true target is Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch who’s been absent from the show. Tonight, we expect her to be present on the show and have the much-anticipated confrontation. In turn, this would set up a title match at Clash of Champions.
