Not every cruiserweight in the division is greeted by the sounds of crickets.

For whatever reason, Cedric Alexander seems to get a good reaction from fans when he’s on Raw. Hopefully, this is something that the writers have noticed, and given that they’ve given him a valet/girlfriend in Alicia Fox and a budding rivalry with creeper Noam Dar, they very well might have noticed.

Alexander’s offense is crisp and unique enough to get fans behind him, including his Lumbar Check finisher, which looked like it readjusted Dar’s spine. Noam’s post-match promo saying that all he wants for Christmas is Alicia was super creepy, which is fine if that’s what WWE is going for with him.

Let’s just hope that we’re not going to see Foxy turn crazy and that becomes the storyline. Cedric could have some potential on the main roster and hopefully will get a chance to develop.
