Earlier tonight, we saw Cedric Alexander lose to Tony Nese in front of a hot home crowd at Charlotte, NC. Later the same evening, Charlotte would tap out to the Banks Statement after a hard fought match! Is someone booking these talents to lose at home, deliberately?
Why would WWE booking want to deprive the hometown heroes of their ‘moment of glory’? Remember how Sasha Banks lost in front of her home crowd too at Hell in a Cell? As did Noam Dar in Scotland. What’s up with this trend? Is someone in WWE booking getting a kick out of this tradition?
