2. Cedric Alexander

Remember the goosebumps-inducing moment that the Full Sail crowd chanted for WWE to sign Cedric Alexander after Cedric's loss to Kota Ibushi during the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic? How the mighty have fallen.

Despite Alexander clearly being hugely talented, it appears that WWE has absolutely zero plans to do anything meaningful with the former Cruiserweight Champion right now. For Cedric, his current role sees him either losing quickly on episodes of Raw or being kept off of TV altogether.

Even in his Main Event appearances, the ten-year veteran is more often than not on the losing side of things - as seen recently in singles losses to both Mojo Rawley and Riddick Moss.

The fact that Angel Garza easily dispatched of Cedric on this week's Raw despite Garza being brutally attacked pre-match by Humberto Carrillo is the perfect indicator of what WWE brass thinks of Alexander. For the 30-year-old, 2020 could be the year he looks to be granted his WWE release - particularly given how his real-life wife Big Swole is now a part of the All Elite Wrestling roster.
