6 WWE Booking Steps To True Redemption For Brian Kendrick
2. #1 Contender Once Again
A number of people probably believe that WWE will have lost interest in the Cruiserweight scene by the time WrestleMania 33 comes around, but I am not one of them. The Showcase of the Immortals will be a great opportunity for them to showcase their ability on the grandest stage of them all, and as a result there would need to be story alongside match quality.
To decide a #1 Contender for the show Mick Foley should take a leaf out of TNA's book (yes), and announce a five man round robin tournament to decide the man to face TJ Perkins at Mania. The men involved would be Kendrick, Swann, Neville, Cedric Alexander and recent RAW arrival Kalisto.
Somehow, someway, Kendrick would qualify for the final of the series, defying all those who assumed Neville vs. Kalisto was a shoo-in for that spot. Even more remarkably Kendrick would win the entire series, becoming the #1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Championship at WrestleMania 33.
Six months after being the first championship match for the new title, TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick for the Cruiserweight Championship is signed for WrestleMania 33.
