But the Baltimore native must now see off Kendrick and the inaugural champion Perkins at the latest Raw pay-per-view to extend his reign.

However, Perkins, who became Cruiserweight Champion after triumphing in this summer's Cruiserweight Classic, regrouped on WWE 205 Live on Tuesday, submitting Swann in a non-title match.

Perkins also downed Swann in the quarter-finals of the Classic earlier this year, a competition he would win after conquering Gran Metalik in the final on September 14.
