#3. Nia Jax's social media activity has raised a few eyebrows

Nia Jax has been out of action since WrestleMania 35 as she had to undergo ACL surgery after suffering tears in both her knees.

Jax has always been one of the most active Superstars on social media as her confrontational comments and opinions have always drawn the attention of the fans. However, Jax has sparked rumours of a possible WWE departure by deleting her Twitter handle altogether.

Any references to the WWE were also previously removed from her Instagram profile with many cryptic posts alluding to an uncertain future. However, Jax is still a part of the WWE roster and is contracted with the company for the foreseeable future. She may have modelling assignments outside the ring but the former Raw Women's Champion would still want to get back to the ring, which is expected to happen in the first half of 2020.

Jax loves to attract focus on herself with her statements on social media and deleting her Twitter handle itself is certainly a good way of reminding the fans about her presence.


#4. Paul Heyman is high in Cedric Alexander

Paul Heyman is at the wheel on Raw and that's a great thing for talented Superstars who have not been afforded a fair share of the limelight.

Cedric Alexander is one of those Superstars. The former 205 Live Superstar was brought up to the red brand as part of the Superstar Shakeup 2019. After a tough start to his journey on Raw, things are finally picking up for the 30-year-old Superstar.

Getting TV time itself is a luxury these days as WWE boasts of a very deep roster with many unused talents warming the bench. Alexander has been featured on TV in the past few weeks while being engaged in a feud with Drew McIntyre, who is viewed highly backstage.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Paul Heyman is quite high on Alexander and that has been evident if you watch WWE's programming off late.

Paul Heyman is well aware of the fact that the former Cruiserweight Champion possesses all the tools that can get him over with the WWE Universe. Alexander is a part of the King of the Ring tournament and considering that he is the good books of Heyman, we expect WWE to book him well enough to have a strong showing.
