Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin had a great time as The Hurt Business on WWE RAW. After splitting from MVP and Bobby Lashley a few weeks ago, it was expected that the two men will try to break out on their own.

However, the two men fell apart soon after, and Alexander split the team after their loss to The Lucha House Party last week. This week, the two WWE Superstars immediately got themselves a match against each other.

Alexander was the more aggressive superstar in the match and had the upper hand for most of the contest. However, Benjamin was allowed to put Alexander away and pick up the win.

Was it the right call to put the veteran over the former Cruiserweight Champion? Shouldn’t WWE have given Alexander the victory a week after he broke up the team by calling Benjamin the weak link?

The loss surely dented Alexander’s value just a week after he made the bold decision. A loss for Benjamin would have made more sense as he has already had a lengthy career in WWE.

Alexander has a bright future ahead of him in the company. Should WWE have allowed him to pick up the victory over his former partner?
