Cedric Alexander has been impressive for some time and he is finally getting the push he deserves. Reports suggested that Paul Heyman is high on him and it looks like Cedric will be an important part of Monday Night RAW from now on.

Dave Meltzer reports that he is in line for a match at Clash of Champions with AJ Styles. He said:

“I’m sure that’s happening. It is happening. Like I said, a couple of weeks ago I was told that AJ was defending his title but they wouldn’t tell me who it was against. And when they did the announcement of AJ and Cedric, obviously I thought there was a good chance AJ was winning the match but instead they did it here (10-man match).”

“I mean on paper, AJ vs. Cedric is a really big match. I would not expect, anything can happen, but I would not expect Cedric to win. I think the title is more valuable on AJ right now, but I think that it can be again. Cedric’s climb is going to be a slow climb anyway, but obviously you can tell, dating back whatever it is, a month or so ago, that a Cedric upswing is part of the plans.”

And just like Meltzer reported, the former 205 Live star has been confirmed to face AJ Styles at Clash of Champions for the United States championship.
