10 Wrestlers Who Have Been Swept Under The Rug

10. Cedric Alexander

It's absolutely baffling that someone as talented as Cedric Alexander has never been given a decent run on the WWE main roster.

A thoroughly excellent run as Cruiserweight Champion looked like a good stepping stone, and for a man of his talents, it should have been. He's even bigger than most cruiserweights, meaning he didn't look out of place in his very brief rivalry with AJ Styles a few years ago.

Besides his run in the short-lived Hurt Business - where he reigned as WWE Raw Tag Team Champion alongside Shelton Benjamin - Alexander has had next to nothing since then.

Instead, Cedric was sniffing around the endless rivalry between Omos and Lashley like a jilted lover, trying whatever he could to salvage the Hurt Business. Then, at its crescendo, he seemingly turned babyface and helped Lashley defeat the giant.

Then... nothing.

There was no follow-up angle, no renewed push for a man who seemed to have learnt the error of his ways. Absolutely nothing.

How, in a three-hour show, you can't find a spot for a man of Cedric Alexander's talents is outrageous, and a clear sign that, even with Triple H in charge, the WWE machine just isn't behind the former 205 Live stalwart.
