Amidst the excitement building up for WrestleMania XL weekend, a notable WWE Superstar, Cedric Alexander, has been officially announced to make an appearance at WaleMania.
The event is set to unfold at the Franklin Music Hall on April 4, just ahead of the grand WrestleMania event scheduled at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia the following weekend.
Cedric Alexander’s presence has been eagerly anticipated, especially considering his absence from WWE SmackDown since his defeat against Dragon Lee on November 11, 2023.

While there were glimpses of him in a vignette alongside Ashante Adonis, hinting at a potential tag team partnership, nothing concrete has materialized on the blue brand as of yet.
Nonetheless, Alexander and Adonis have managed to secure a few victories in dark matches earlier this month, keeping the anticipation alive among fans. Taking to social media, Alexander himself confirmed his appearance at WaleMania next Thursday night, stirring up excitement among wrestling enthusiasts.
In a parallel announcement, Shayna Baszler, renowned as the Queen of Spades, is also set to grace another event outside the realm of WWE on April 4. She is scheduled to make an appearance at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, adding further allure to the wrestling extravaganza.
In retrospect, Cedric Alexander’s prowess in the ring hasn’t gone unnoticed, especially by seasoned wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell. Following Alexander’s clash with Dragon Lee on SmackDown last year, Mantell showered praise on the former Hurt Business member during an episode of Wrestling’s Smack Talk.
Mantell not only lauded Alexander’s technical skills but also commended the intensity of his rivalry with Dragon Lee, acknowledging the appreciation it garnered from the audience.
Despite his intermittent appearances, Cedric Alexander’s legacy in WWE remains significant, particularly highlighted by his reign as the RAW Tag Team Champion alongside Shelton Benjamin.
Although his release from WWE last September stirred rumors of a potential move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), recent revelations by The Acclaimed’s Max Caster hinted at a different narrative, suggesting complexities within the AEW locker room dynamics.
