Cedric Alexander, fresh off his Raw debut on Monday night as part of the Cruiserweight division, also made his NXT debut on Wednesday. If you did not catch his work during the CWC on the Network, then you have missed out on perhaps the most athletic wrestler currently associated with WWE. Alexander flies through the air with the greatest of ease and has an acrobatic penchant that few can equal; he is the type of incredible athlete that seemingly could have excelled at any sporting endeavor, but simply chose wrestling.

Wednesday on NXT, he faced off against Andrade Almas in the main-event, a rapid fire 10-minute bout that would have been right at home in the confines of the new Cruiserweight division. Some of the sequences strung together were among the week's most aesthetically-pleasing.

Give credit where due to Almas, as well. There may not be a more underutilized talent in WWE right now than the man known as 'Cien'. Almas has an added degree of charisma that could find him joining Alexander as a potential breakout star in the near future.
