Tony Nese Crowned New Cruiserweight Champion At WrestleMania 35

Last night’s WrestleMania 35 Kickoff Show opened up with Tony Nese defeating Buddy Murphy to become The New WWE Cruiserweight Champion. This is Nese’s first time winning The WWE Cruiserweight Title. Murphy won the title back on October 6th at WWE Super Show-Down at Melbourne, Australia, by defeating Cedric Alexander.
