Drew Gulak’s New Opponent Named For #1 Contender’s Bout, Big Match Announced For Raw Next Week

As previously reported, Rich Swann was originally slated to face Drew Gulak on Monday’s WWE Raw, with the winner going on to challenge Enzo Amore for the Cruiserweight Championship. When Swann was suspended by the company following his arrest on charges of domestic battery, a “second chance” match was announced with the winner filling his spot.

Cedric Alexander picked up a big win over Ariya Daivari, Mustafa Ali and Tony Nese in a four-way match to earn his spot in the #1 contender’s match, and will now advance to face Drew Gulak next week on Monday Night Raw.

BEAUTIFUL move by @CedricAlexander…
