8 Main Roster WWE Superstars Who Would Thrive In NXT
3. Cedric Alexander
In the second round of the Cruiserweight Classic, Cedric Alexander dazzled the world with his second round loss to Kota Ibushi, so much so that the Full Sail crowd chanted at WWE encouraging them to sign him, which they did. Since then, however, Alexander has struggled to maintain momentum on a RAW/205 Live brand that doesn’t know what to do with its talent. Between injuries and bad storylines, Cedric is going nowhere and fast.
By moving to NXT, Cedric would immediately find a home with a Full Sail crowd that will remember his efforts and cheer for him because he’s one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster. With his skill and youth, he could be a big-time main eventer on RAW or SmackDown, but he needs to get over in an environment that will let him first, and 205 Live ain’t the place. NXT is.
