WWE has added another title match to the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Cedric Alexander will get another shot at Enzo Amore’s Cruiserweight Championship. Alexander is getting another shot after Amore was “injured” during the match that took place on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. Alexander won when Amore was counted out but, per the rules, he did not win the title.
