#2 Cedric Alexander didn't mince his words while expressing his frustration with WWE

Back in early 2020, Cedric Alexander posted a tweet, making it clear that he wasn't happy with how WWE had been booking him on RAW. The tweet came out soon after Dave Meltzer of WOR reported that WWE didn't have any plans for him, hence he wasn't being used on TV around the time.

Paul Davis reported at the time that Vince McMahon didn't see anything special in Alexander. Here's what Cedric tweeted:

Months later, Alexander engaged in a feud with The Hurt Business and later ended up joining the faction. Ever since he joined The Hurt Business on RAW, Alexander has been doing fine for himself and has been getting ample screen time.

. At TLC 2020, Alexander and Shelton Benjamin defeated The New Day to become the new RAW Tag Team Champions. The Hurt Business has been a huge success and has turned Bobby Lashley into a big star. Lashley isn't the only one whose WWE career was reinvigorated in The Hurt Business, though, as Alexander's career was also revitalized after he joined the stable.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
