Cruiserweight Title Match Gets Added to WWE Survivor Series Lineup
The Survivor Series lineup got another addition this week as a Cruiserweight Championship match was added to the card. During this week’s WWE 205 Live (on tape) broadcast on WWE Network, it was announced that Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy will defend his title against Mustafa Ali.
It should be an awesome match like they have had before. It’s possible that the match may be added to the Kickoff Show like some other cruiserweight matches have been in the past, but hopefully there is time on the main four hour broadcast of Survivor Series.

I hope that Murphy vs. Ali is as good as this match that I’m posting below. It was one of the best WWE matches of the year. I’d rate it at ****1/4 although I don’t review 205 Live. It was outstanding.
