Ricochet attempts his usual spectacular high flying offense, but eventually finds himself flying face first into the KInshasa!
1!
2!
3!
Here is your winner, Shinsuke Nakamura!
And looks like Reginald is looking at the right prospect here! Nakamura with a decisive win. The King of Strong Style is moving ahead. Could we see him qualify for King of the Ring tonight?
We cut to the back where we see MVP and Bobby Lashley in the back in what appears to be their own exclusive locker room. Lashley has a quartet of lovely ladies swarming over him as he lounges back, his manager looking on from nearby with a smug smirk.
Bobby, tonight is the start of the come back tour. You hear me? You already did a great job reminding people of who you are and what you are capable of. You put the whole locker room on notice, whether they be in WWE or that new pissant company. And I knew you would, because that's why how I earn my percentage!
But now that Punk has decided to start handing out spots for the King of the Ring, we have to push things into high gear! Last time was just a warm up. Now we start to get into the real crap here. You have to make those people in charge understand just how stupid they would be if they refuse to allow you a spot in the tournament. I mean that shouldn't be the case, granted. In my eyes, you're the unbeaten champion!
You never got pinned to lose that belt, after all! You only lost it due to bureaucracy! They wanted to "be fair" so everybody gets to start at square one thanks to the new regime. What a stupid concept!
Bobby lowers the sunglasses from his eyes and nods silently.
Good to see we're in agreement, champ. See, if doesn't matter if you don't hold the gold. In my eyes, you are still and forever always The Champ! And tonight, that sorry rookie named Maansoor is gonna find that out the hard way! I feel for the kid, I really do. He only just recently signed his contract to join the main roster. It's gonna be a crying shame to end such a promising career in a single night.
But that's just the business for you. Rookies like you step into the ring with competitors like Lash here! You get your ass kicked, maybe a few broken bones, and then you go home and think about what you could do better next time. And maybe someday there will be a next time. However, in this case though... the only advice I have for you is to...
Stay down.
Took the words right out of my mouth, champ!
Maansoor, man are you gonna be sore when all is said and done! And you're just gonna serve as stepping stone on our ascent to greatness! See, WAEW needs a champion who oozes prestige and power! And Charles, you are looking at the perfect package right here! So I hope you and the Khan boys are watching tonight. No doubt while you're choking down some disgusting Diet Pepsi
Because tonight you and the whole world will get to witness what happens when you take away a champion's title unfairly. And whatever happens from here on out is all on your heads.
Alright, ladies. Lash here has a match to get ready for. But don't worry: one we get done here tonight, I've reservations for six at the ritziest restaurant in this whole podunk town! In the mean time, feel free to watch the fun. Though if you are sensitive to violence, you might want to just spend the time powdering those cute little noses of yours.
Lashley smirks at this.
For anybody who is still interested in pursuing MY championship... pay attention tonight. I'm gonna show you just what's in store for you.
The two quickly exit the locker room as we cut to the next scene.

Lashley makes quick work of Mansoor, destroying him with a spear before slapping on the Hurt Lock for good measure. Maansoor passes out in a matter of moments after.
Here is your winner, Bobby Lashley!
And another dominant performance from Lashley. MVP has to be happy about his man after that one! Tough break for his opponent. It looks like there's no slowing down the All Mighty One.

The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Currently in the ring, the team of Jinder Mahal and Tamina! Seriously, did the Khans pick this team by throwing darts at names or something?Well... they're both... yeah, I've got nothing. That's the fun of mixed tag matches. You never know what interesting combinations you'll see!Blue Collar SolidTheir opponents, accompanied by Chad Gable, the team of Otis and Mandy Rose! Otis and Mandy Rose once again back together after a long break courtesy of The Miz.Now that they seem to be getting along again, we'll see how well they do teaming together!Otis and Mandy Rose vs Riddick Moss and Tamina 5 Minutes

Otis and Mandy hit a simultaneous Caterpillar and Mandy Rose finisher to bring this one to an end.
1!
2!
3!
Here are your winners, Otis and Mandy Rose!
Big win by the big man and his little lady! He may be standing tall tonight, but it's only a matter of time before he's truly tested. We'll see how he fares when that time comes.
We cut to Cameron Grimes.
Can't believe this guy is making me wait.
A few seconds pass before Cameron is approached by Charles Robinson.
There you are! We need to talk.
What is it Cameron? I'm trying to get myself ready for Tom Lawlor vs Tetsuya Naito.
Hey, I got a match of my own so I'll make it quick. How long have you been a referee?
Twenty six years in total.
Wow. Over a quarter of a century of experience, and you still don't know how to do your job right.
I'm sorry?
You should be! Last week, I faced Antonio Cesaro and if I had won that match, there's a good chance I would have been entered into the King of the Ring. On my way to becoming WAEW Champion. Instead, you awarded the match to Cesaro and cost me my chance.
Antonio hit you with the Neutralizer and pinned you.
For a two count.
It was three.
Alright, but my foot was on the ropes.
Antonio hooked both legs and your shoulders were down.
Alright, but it was a fast count.
No, it wasn't.
Alright, but you were clearly being bias.
I called it down the middle.
Charles... you don't seem to be picking up on the vibe I'm trying to give out here. Let's try something else. If you're a fair man, you'll be willing to watch the footage again. If by chance, there were something that would cause you to reverse your decision, you might just then find a hefty envelope in your locker.
That's not how I do business.
Oh, a briefcase kind of man. I can respect that.
No, Cameron. I'm not taking a bribe from you.
Whoa, whoa, who said anything about a bribe? Money was never apart of this conversation. That envelope would have contained a letter of commendation, asking you be the referee for all my matches from now on, thanks to such honest officiating. That briefcase would have contained the contract to make it happen.
Still not interested. We're done here.
Charles goes to leave but turns back to Cameron.
Chad Patton is assigned to your match tonight. Don't try anything funny with him either.
Charles exits.
The only thing funny around here is a referee who can't be bought.
This is fine. I shouldn't have to win a whole tournament to become a champion anyway and there's plenty more gold to be had. X or U-S. I-C or T-V. T-N-T or P-U-R-E. Openweight or Open the Dream Gate. It don't matter to me. CM Punk and the Khans are going to want another singles championship at some stage and when they do, I'm the one they're going to be calling. The workhorse of wealth. The technician worth trillions. Bet on Cameron Grimes because you know I'm a hell of a hand.
Tonight, I've got Shelton Benjamin. Now usually, if a Benjamin ain't a Franklin, it's a Benjamin I'm frankly not interested in. Shelton is an exception. A man who calls himself the Gold Standard is a man who has my attention. He's been where I want to be, multiple times. In another life, he and I could have done business together. In this life? Seems like any Business around here decided he wasn't worth it any more. Tonight, Shelton doesn't have to worry about looking up the lights again. You face Cameron Grimes, you've got to look further than that. Look up..
TO!
THE!
MOON!

The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Currently in the ring, from Orangeburg, South Carolina, weighing in at 248 pounds, Shelton Benjamin! The Gold Standard looking to get back on track tonight. He hasn't had the best luck since he and Cedric split off from The Hurt Business.A win here could help propel him back where he wants to be. But we'll see if he has what it takes to make it there.Stackin' MoneyHis opponent, from Burlington, North Carolina, weighing 220 pounds, Cameron Grimes! Big Money Grimes is here, and he's here to make bank!Well in this case, he better hope not to hit Paydirt.Cameron Grimes may have stumbled last week, but tonight he has a chance to get right back into the swing of things. And I have a feeling he intends to do just that.Cameron Grimes vs Shelton Benjamin 5 Minutes

Cameron Grimes sends Benjamin to the MOON! Courtesy of a Cave in!
1!
2!
3!
Here is your winner... Cameron Grimes!
And the moneymaker with another victory! Things are coming up Grimes! Pat, if you want to be Cameron's personal cheerleader in hopes of making extra money, at least be honest with us. Regardless, Cameron picks up another win. Just goes to show you that fortune can turn around quite easily in a single night!
We cut to the back, where we see an unknown man sitting with his back to the camera, looking at a screen mounted on the wall. After a moment, a video slowly starts to play.
A lot can happen in five years. It's been a hell of a ride for someone that wasn't supposed to make it here to begin with. Let me break it down.
The video turns out to be a series of clips that play as the man goes down the list. As the video progresses, the man turns to face the camera, revealing himself to be Cedric Alexander.
2016, Cruiserweight Classic: Me and Kota Ibushi burn the house down. I was so good that even when I lost, the crowd was begging for more! "Please sign Cedric! Please sign Cedric!" And you know who heard them? Triple H. You know who signed Cedric Alexander to be the cornerstone of the new cruiserweight division that same night? Triple H.
Two years later, 2018: Who brings the Cruiserweight Championship back to WrestleMania? Me! Who holds the title for half a year? Me! Who goes over a year without taking an L? Me!
2019, I get drafted to Raw, and then...maybe I lost my way. Maybe I try to punch above my weight. But you know who makes a name for himself, you know who beats the likes of Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles? You already know the answer.
2020, Hurt Business, we were on top of the world! Me and Shelton and Bobby and MVP, we OWN Raw, we CARRY this show through the pandemic. And now here we are, 2021. Five years in this company, the business has changed, but I'm still here.
Someone might look at that and say, "oh, not a bad run, you did good." Not me. I'm just getting started. I am in the prime of my life as a competitor, I am PRIME Alexander for a reason, and if anybody has anything funny to say about it, they're gonna learn the hard way exactly what I'm all about.
Alexander flashes a grin to the camera before walking away. After a beat, a graphic appears on the screen:
CEDRIC ALEXANDER RETURNS NEXT WEEK ON RAW!
