Are Ricochet & Cedric Alexander a hot new tag team capable of quick, high-flying action, or are they a duo one step up from being a jobber squad?

The tandem put on a dizzying array of offensive moves en route to defeating two NXT talents Monday night, an impressive showing that was accompanied by the announcers singing their praises throughout.

However, Ricochet & Alexander are 2-2 as a tag team, defeating a different NXT duo a couple weeks ago, but losing to the Viking Raiders last week and Andrade & Angel Garza last month. While they’re impressive in the ring, WWE needs to figure out whether they’re a team to push or just enhancement talent.

But we’ll give this an “up” this week because they were pretty impressive with their tandem offense Monday night.
