How's this for a story?
Cedric Alexander has been scratching and clawing to get into WWE his whole career. He sees an opportunity in a Cruiserweight Classic tournament that he has to lose twenty pounds to even be eligible to compete in. He comes up short in the quarterfinals, but his impressive performance encourages the entire audience to chant "HIRE CEDRIC" so loud that the boss has no choice but to come out and acknowledge him with a hand raise. His dreams come true as he does get hired, and after a fairly long wrong, he captures the Cruiserweight title at Wrestlemania in a match against his good friend. He defends that championship valiantly on a regular basis and is UNDEFEATED in the year 2018, widely heralded as the most fighting Cruiserweight champion in its short history.
On the other side, you see Buddy Murphy, a man who saw very early success in the start of his WWE career, capturing tag gold with Wesley Blake and having a good run. After that run however, he was shoved to the side and all but forgotten about, though his talent was undeniable. Seeing an opportunity to capture glory again, Murphy gets in the best shape of his life and cuts weight to join the 205 Live roster as it's "Best Kept Secret". He goes on a tear, toppling foe after foe in an attempt to capture the Cruiserweight championship, ultimately falling JUST a bit short on a couple opportunities, most notably against current champion, Cedric Alexander. With a fire that has never left his belly, he secures a number one contendership on a show in his HOME TOWN that the company hasn't had a televised show in thirteen years. The entire country is on his back, so it's now or never.
That's simple. That's effective. Both men are in the best shape of their careers. It's that easy.
But marks like you would rather see Kane in a wig.
