10 Worst Booked Wrestlers Of 2017
8. Cedric Alexander
Cedric Alexander is, by any measurement, one of the best wrestlers in WWE. A gifted athlete, the former Ring Of Honor star can fly, strike, and grapple as well as anyone else on 205 Live, and he plays a great babyface too. His microphone skills and character work remain questionable, but in a division that's supposed to value in-ring capabilities over everything else, Alexander is among the elite.
His 2017 usage rate isn't terrible, but WWE have shown no signs of pushing him as a major Cruiserweight player. He had a brief relationship with Alicia Fox, then disappeared from television after suffering a serious knee injury, and returned to feud with Noam Dar in May. Since then, Alexander has been little more than a peripheral player, existing primarily to fill a slot on the babyface side of one of 205's many multi-person tag bouts.
Much like Mustafa Ali and Gran Metalik, Alexander is a world class wrestler stuck on the lowliest brand of a promotion that has no idea how to book the lighter weight classes. He'd be better off returning to the indies.
