Ranking Every CWC Round 2 Match - From Worst To Best
1. Kota Ibushi Vs. Cedric Alexander
Result: Ibushi kills Alexander with the Golden Star Powerbomb (15:03).
Rating: This was easily one of the most anticipated CWC matches up to this point and unsurprisingly delivered the best bout in the entire tournament so far.
The sequences were smooth as butter throughout, the selling was insane (especially the hilariously loud smacking noises), and the crowd loved every second of it. It's honestly a shame either of them had to be eliminated, but they both came out looking super-strong, and the final sequence in particular was just electric.
The icing on the cake was Triple H showing up to sign Alexander despite him losing. This match had it all: physicality, a fast pace, great storytelling and a satisfying payoff. Topping this won't be easy, but there's still plenty to be played for. 9/10
