WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander Celebrates 10 Month Winning Streak
Can he go the full year undefeated?
Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander sure has been on a roll as of late. He won the title at WrestleMania, successfully defended it against Kalisto at the Greatest Royal Rumble, has enjoyed further successful title defences against Drew Gulak at SummerSlam, against Buddy Murphy and Hideo Itami respectively on 205 Live, and he even found the time to get married in June.
Did you realize he did all of this while building up a streak, too?
On the Dec 4th edition of Monday Night Raw, Cedric would suffer a loss in a Fatal 4-Way matchup also featuring Tony Nese, Mustafa Ali, and eventual winner, Drew Gulak. Since then he's gone just over ten months without taking a pin or submitting. In fact, aside from a count-out no contest from his Royal Rumble match with Enzo Amore, Cedric hasn't even had to deal with any suspicious circumstances with match finishes. Barring one, he's either defeated every opponent with a submission or pinfall.
With no rightful heir to the throne in sight, Cedric Alexander looks set to likely go an entire 365 days without taking a pinfall. Good on him too, if there was ever a wrestler to build the entire cruiserweight division around, it's him.
Congratulations on ten undefeated months, Cedric.
