With WrestleMania 35 almost on the horizon, WWE has lined up one of the most historic and biggest WrestleMania cards' of all time. With the likes of the Universal Championship, WWE Championship, Raw Women's Championship, and several other main roster titles up for grabs, the WWE Universe is certainly more than excited to witness some scintillating and breathtaking action at the Metlife Stadium.

One match in particular which might have not received the adequate amount of attention as it deserved is non-other than the Cruiserweight Championship match. The 205 Live-brand has been on absolute fire for the past few months and with Buddy Murphy as the reigning champion, the purple brand is all set to put up another spectacle like last year at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Murphy has been a dominant champion and has pretty much destroyed every single superstar who stepped in his path to glory, however, after the conclusion of a recent #1 contenders tournament, Murphy now finds himself a well-renowned challenger in the form of Tony Nese.

Both Nese and Murphy are physically two of the best stars of 205 Live and both men have the capability of putting together a five-star classic at 'Mania. The New Jersey crowd for one is all set to witness a historic battle between the two men at tonight's WrestleMania Pre-Show.

Buddy Murphy has been on an absolute roll as the Cruiserweight Champion and come WrestleMania 35 tomorrow, there is a pretty solid chance of him pulling off all the stunts and secure yet another all-important win over Nese at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

'The Best Kept Secret' is bound to put on a show tomorrow night and expect him to do the exact. If I was Tony Nese, I'd expect the absolute best from Murphy.

#4. Tony Nese becomes the new champion

Tony Nese is quite possibly one of the most underrated and talented Cruiserweight stars on the planet and seeing him finally being able to get his moment prior to WrestleMania 35 is surely something amazing to witness, at least for me, considering I'm a big fan of Nese's work.

Murphy has been champion for a very, very long time now and has pretty much led the 205 Live Division from the front, however, tomorrow night at WrestleMania could very well be the passing of a torch moment, as Nese could possibly win the Cruiserweight Title and become the new frontrunner in the Cruiserweight Division.

Tony Nese certainly has all the types of attributes to lead the Cruiserweight Division from the front and a win for him at WrestleMania will do wonders for his career. Therefore, expect Nese to give more than his 100% at 'Mania 35 tomorrow night.

#3. Buddy Murphy retains the Cruiserweight Title via outside interference

With Buddy Murphy's recent attack on Tony Nese, the latter has now subsequently turned face on the main roster and come 'Mania 35 will portray the babyface role. As for Murphy, the current champion will look to take it to the distance and make sure that he retains his title and walks out of WrestleMania with his title.

Therefore, expect Murphy to possibly bring along a few familiar faces in order to have him retain the Cruiserweight Championship and we could very well also witness the possible birth of a brand new tag team or maybe even a 205 Live faction as well.

With the likes of Mike Kanellis, Drew Gulak, and Ariya Daivari not booked for WrestleMania 35, maybe, just maybe, Murphy could turn to these few names in order to help him retain his title at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

#2. Double Turn!

Tony Nese is surely an over babyface, however, he is even better as a heel. Whereas, despite Murphy being the amazing heel he is, a change in his character will certainly make things a lot more interesting for 205 Live.

Nese and Murphy are pretty much guaranteed to have an instant classic showdown and instead of having yet another "Heart vs Soul" match like last year between Ali and Cedric, why not give the 205 Live stars something more meaningful on this occasion?

By causing a Double Turn between Tony Nese and Buddy Murphy, fans will not only feel invested into the Cruiserweight Title match but the match itself will serve a certain purpose. By having Nese turn heel once again and Murphy face in the process, fans can surely witness another classic Double Turn, much like the Austin-Bret Hart double turn from a few decades ago.

#1. No Contest - A new 205 Live star arrives!

A no contest title match at WrestleMania seems like the unlikeliest of choices, however, sometimes in order to sell a story, even WWE has to book the wildest angles possible. A no contest between Murphy and Nese is the last thing fans would expect at this point, therefore, now sure seems like the perfect occasion to execute it.

WWE needs to make sure that they book a proper and hard-hitting, high-flying match between Murphy and Nese and provide them enough time in order to prove their worth. However, after a solid 20 minutes of action, why not give the fans their first big surprise of the evening, which would be to debut a new star of 205 Live and have him destroy both Nese and Murphy at the same time, causing a no contest.

That one particular star could very well be WWE's newest signee Kushida or maybe even an NXT Cruiserweight who could move up to the 205 Live Division in order to take his rightful place at the top of the purple brand.

If WWE is really willing to have the WWE Universe care about the Cruiserweight Title match then they might as well pull off all the major stunts possible.
