3 Ways WWE can book Cedric Alexander on RAW

Cedric Alexander earned a promotion on-screen when he received a call-up to Monday Night RAW in the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up. The Lumbar Legacy had impressed everyone with his in-ring performances on 205 Live. He even had a run with the Cruiserweight Championship, which he had won at WrestleMania 34.

Queen City's favorite son reigned supreme on the purple brand until WWE's first ever pay-per-view down under, WWE Super Show Down. Australia's own Buddy Murphy dethroned Alexander as the champion of the cruiserweights in October.

At this year's WrestleMania, Murphy lost the title to Tony Nese, while Alexander too had lost to Tony Nese in the finals of the #1 contender's tournament. Both Murphy and Cedric have moved up to the main roster now.

In this article, we will have a look at the 3 possible storylines the WWE Creative can use to introduce Alexander on RAW .

#3 Feud with a heel Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode will return to singles division after his tag team partner Chad Gable moved to SmackDown Live

The team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable had shown glimpses of turning heel when they expressed their desire of winning matches by any means. But, to the team's disappointment, WWE split them apart in the Superstar Shake-up. While Bobby Roode has continued to be a part of Monday Night RAW, Chad Gable will now perform on Tuesday nights.

This means that both the superstars will return to the singles division. The fans had been demanding the Creative team to book Bobby Roode as a heel, just like his character in NXT.

So, with a babyface like Cedric Alexander debuting on RAW, it would make sense if the Glorious One attacks him to kick-off their rivalry on Monday nights. The two can have a long but interesting feud which would help both the superstars in terms of character development.

#2 Engage in a rivalry with Eric Young

Eric Young has joined the RAW roster

The most surprising decision that the WWE Creative team took during the Superstar Shakeup was to split up Sanity. The trio of Eric Young, Killian Dane and Alexander Wolfe had made their main roster debut after moving up to SmackDown Live in the previous Superstar Shakeup.

However, they generated no momentum whatsoever on the blue brand with the lowest point of their career coming just before WrestleMania 35. The NXT graduates suffered a miserable defeat in a 3-on-1 handicap match against The Miz. The WWE Universe believed that the stable could start afresh after the Show of Shows but WWE has given up on that idea.

Eric Young has moved to RAW and will perform as a singles wrestler. Given his personality and appearance, he should portray a heel character and thus, he may need a face opponent to kick off his career on the 'A' show.

Cedric Alexander is a credible face superstar and it would benefit both Young and Alexander if they are put in a gripping rivalry on Monday nights.

#1 Become the first participant of the men's Money in the Bank match

Money in the Bank

The 2019 Money in the Bank ladder matches will take place on May 19th on the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Since there is no Saudi Arabia show in April this year, Money in the Bank will be the next pay-per-view stop for WWE.

With the WrestleMania fallout episodes and the Superstar Shakeup done and dusted, expect the Creative team to start building the match card of Money in the Bank sooner rather than later.

Cedric Alexander can steal the show in the ladder match and thus, he could be a leading contender to grab a place in that match. WWE can have Alexander defeat Mojo Rawley or Jinder Mahal to book his position in the aforementioned match.

The company can then look at the reception Alexander gets and the way he performs in the ring to book him in the future storylines.
