- Backstage, Maverick has a sit-down with Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali. The two can't believe how they went from sitting in a sky box and watching WrestleMania last year and now they will be on the show. Alexander talks about how it was amazing that they will wrestle in front of their friends and family and he will win the title. Ali has him repeat that last part and notes how Alexander always get to that big match and something messes up his chance at winning the title. Ali continues that they will tear the house down and the story ends with the title being raised over his head. Alexander responds that he'll sacrifice anything including stomping out the heart of 205 Live, that's what he'll do to become champion. Ali tells him that's exactly what he's going to have to do and the two shake hands.
Who knows how this story between @MustafaAliWWE and @CedricAlexander ends... but it's going to be one hell of a story. pic.twitter.com/0NYXZl9rUn
