While the WWE Draft kept fans on the edge of their seats with its surprises, the action continued with compelling matches, including one featuring Cedric Alexander, a notable absence from draft pools, who hasn’t graced SmackDown screens in nearly half a year.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it showdown, Alexander faced off against Bron Breakker, succumbing to a lightning-fast Spear and subsequent pin. His appearance garnered attention not just for his swift defeat but also for his striking transformation, sporting newly grown-out dreadlocks.
The former Cruiserweight and RAW Tag Team Champion’s last SmackDown appearance in November showcased a markedly different look with shorter hair. With his prolonged absence from TV screens, Alexander’s future hangs in the balance. If not drafted in the coming days, he could find himself in of free agency for the next year.
While sporadically featured on SmackDown in recent months, Alexander’s potential shift to free agency carries significant implications.
It opens doors to explore opportunities across all three WWE brands, potentially revitalizing his career in unforeseen ways.
Despite his absence from RAW and SmackDown, Alexander hasn’t remained entirely off the radar, making appearances on WWE Speed in recent months. His journey, marked by twists and turns, underscores the unpredictability of the WWE terrain and the enduring resilience of its performers.
