Aleister Black's march to WrestleMania 36 continued with another squash match on last night's episode of WWE Raw, as the Dutchman made quick work of indie wrestler Jason Cade as he sharpens up for Bobby Lashley at 'The Showcase of the Immortals.'

Like last week's battle with EVOLVE up-and-comer Leon Ruff, it was another minute-long affair in which Cade was totally overmatched, eventually falling to the Black Mass. It worked - and Cade played his role well.

Trained by NXT's Norman Smiley, Cade has been wrestling for seven years and is best known for his work in southern indies like PWX, though he has also appeared for such promotions as ROH, Impact, and GCW in recent months. This was the 28-year-old's first enhancement spot in WWE.

NXT's Kayden Carter also stepped up as a Raw jobber, losing to Asuka in 1:15. The former Lacey Lane has become a semi-regular performer on Wednesday nights lately, scoring an unexpected win over Chelsea Green in late January before dropping her next two tilts. Her and 'The Empress of Tomorrow' also threw down on last week's Main Event, with Carter lasting five minutes that time around.
