Released WWE star suddenly makes blockbuster debut

A former WWE star has just made a blockbuster debut on another prominent promotion. He was recently released by the Stamford-based company.

Cedric Alexander spent the past several years of his career in WWE. During this time, the most notable storyline he was involved with was with the Hurt Business. He also ended up winning the RAW Tag Team Championship with Shelton Benjamin. However, after the group disbanded, Cedric floundered around on the main roster for a while before he was moved to NXT. After a short run in the black and silver brand, Cedric was released from the Stamford-based promotion earlier this year.

Following this year, there were rumors that he could end up in AEW with the Hurt Syndicate. However, his next move has now become clear. This week on TNA Impact, Mustafa Ali had a falling out with his employees, and he attacked them. He took a steel chair and was about to hit Tasha Steelz when Cedric Alexander's music played, and he came down to the ring to confront Ali. It seemed as if Jason Hotch, John Skylar, and Tasha Steelz had sided with Cedric.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
