10 Shots WWE Fired At Wrestlers (That You Didn't Notice)
2. Cleaning Old Wounds
Though an angle booking Cedric Alexander to be a loser in sh*t disguise before celebrating the mere fact that his sh*t disguise actually worked might as well have been a shot at Alexander and partner-in-terrible-crime Roman Reigns, it actually had within it a sly dig at a Mexican wrestling icon... or, most probably, his son.
To recap, Alexander was under a hood and janitor overalls as Gary 'The GOAT' Garbutt, the hand-picked partner of Reigns by villainous toe-rags Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre in their efforts to hamstring 'The Big Dog'. But what this fix really needed was a lucha mask to hide Gary's stupid face...that'd...show...Roman?
Who the f*ck knows, but Cedric revealing himself with a grin after getting pinned by Shane McMahon didn't exactly serve the former Cruiserweight Champion up as Raw's next top star. Nor did the Dos Caras mask he'd worn throughout.
A part of the legend's rich iconography, the mask design was rather callously abused for this spot - a reality that almost certainly left Dos Caras Jr (AKA former WWE star Alberto Del Rio/El Patron) none too happy with the disrespect.
