The Small Ones. New Title Match Set For Clash Of Champions.

From the purple crew. Clash Of Champions is coming up pretty soon and that means that WWE needs to get some more of the card together pretty fast. This week has already seen a few matches announced for the show, but with so many titles floating around WWE, there is almost always one more thing that needs to be set up. One of those was taken care of on Tuesday night.

On this week’s 205 Live, Humberto Carrillo defeated Oney Lorcan to become the new #1 contender to Drew Gulak’s Cruiserweight Championship. Lorcan has spent several weeks chasing the title but lost in his title shot against Gulak at Summerslam. Carrillo has also been positioned to get a shot at Gulak, though this will be his first title shot of any kind in WWE.

They beat each other up pretty well. Check out the match:

Opinion: There were only two options to challenge Gulak and Carrillo was one of them. WWE has made him feel like a bigger deal over the last few weeks and as he and Lorcan were the survivors in last week’s elimination tag, it was kind of a layup to have them face off for the title shot. Carrillo makes for an interesting challenger and could be the one to take the title from Gulak in a surprise.
