Swerve Strickland thinks WWE should invest in Cedric Alexander.
He said as much during a recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast with O’Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
“Cedric Alexander. Big time. That’s my brother. I was literally one of the groomsmen in his wedding. When I moved to Florida, he was one of the people who really held me down. We couldn’t get a couch. Him and Malakai Black pitched in money for me to buy a couch for the apartment. I still have that couch. I will never get rid of it because of that. Cedric was instrumental in that little space in between of me taking it to the next level on the indies. Not as Killshot, but on the indies, working with Cedric, I had two or three matches with him and that’s where it was like, ‘I’m figuring it out and getting it.’ Cedric, there is so much raw and unadulterated talent in that man. Even with himself, I think he’s still nervous to fully express himself. You never get that until you push them and get that open time. I think he needs that. They just re-signed him for another three years. You invest in him. You show that investment in him. I want to see more investment in him. There are a lot of people that can learn from him and there is a lot that the fanbase can learn from watching him. I still want it for him so bad. That’s a brother and a name I don’t throw out too often, but Cedric, for sure.”
