WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently spoke about one half of the RAW Tag Team Champions Cedric Alexander on his podcast. Kurt Angle revealed the reason behind the former Cruiserweight Champion not being initially pushed on the main roster.

Kurt Angle revealed that WWE star Cedric Alexander had turned down Vince McMahon's ideas for him, which led to him being in the 'doghouse' as McMahon wasn't happy with the young star's refusal. Angle believed that Alexander's career might be over and that he is, in fact, lucky to have gotten a second chance at success after joining the Hurt Business.

''You look at what they have been doing with Alexander, the Hurt Business. He got in a little trouble last year. He didn't do something that Vince wanted him to do, and if you don't listen to your boss, things could get a little bit depressing for you, and he didn't listen the one night, and they scolded him for a good half-year before they started using him again, and rightfully so, he should have listened.''

Kurt Angle emphasized how important it is for talent to listen to Vince and his ideas because, at the end of the day, that is what their job is.
