Cedric Alexander has been on 205 Live since the end of the Cruiserweight Classic. After his incredible match with Kota Ibushi, fans begged WWE to offer him a contract. Triple H came out while Alexander walked up to the ramp and, on air, guaranteed he had a job.
Fast forward three years later, and Cedric Alexander was the man that carried the division. Even before his run in 2018, he was one of the highlights in the early life of 205 Live, always shocking and awe-ing fans with his incredible in-ring prowess. At the beginning of 2018 until Super Show-Down in Melbourne Australia, Alexander never lost a match.
Going on a run in the Cruiserweight Championship tournament, beating Mustafa Ali at WrestleMania 34, putting on main event calibre matches against the likes of Buddy Murphy, Hideo Itami, Drew Gulak, Kalisto, and more, proved to the WWE Universe that he was a one of a kind talent. Last night, Alexander was drafted to Monday Night Raw. Tonight, he faced the 205 Live crowds for the final time.
