WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Alexa Bliss’ big moment, major split teased on the show (Jan 18th, 2021)

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW: Cedric Alexander (with The Hurt Business)

Cedric Alexander has attracted a lot of attention on WWE RAW

'You win as a team.' Last week on WWE RAW, MVP offered this advice to Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin who are far from being on the same page. Last night, Alexander, Benjamin, and Bobby Lashley teamed up to take on Riddle and The Lucha House Party. While Lashley picked the win for The Hurt Business, Alexander managed to steal the show with his story-telling efforts.

The friction between Alexander and Benjamin was evident throughout this match on WWE RAW. At one point, Benjamin lost his cool and ended up pushing Alexander out of the ring, and the latter was not happy about the same. It will be interesting to see how these two Superstars will work word’s resolving their differences, especially when they need to defend their WWE RAW Tag Team Championships.

Over the last few weeks, Alexander has been booked as a conflicted Superstar on WWE RAW who is now arrogant about his achievements. His attitude is causing problems in The Hurt Business, and there are indications towards a possible split. Alexander has been nailing this role and has the fans invested in this storyline that will have a huge impact in the Red brand's tag team division.
