There has been no question that Cedric Alexander has built a formidable amount of momentum in recent weeks during his chase to capture the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. With his new ally Goldust in his corner, Alexander has only continued to show the Cruiserweight division and the WWE Universe why he one of the top contenders at 205 pounds and under.
Last week on WWE 205 Live, Alexander displayed his cunning repertoire by feigning a leg injury in an effort to defeat – and embarrass – Tony Nese in front of WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore. For his part, The Certified G has managed to evade Alexander due to circumstances out of his control. First, he came down with the flu at the beginning of the year, postponing their Cruiserweight Championship battle, and the next week when they did square off, Enzo injured his ankle and retained the title by losing via count-out.
Despite the string of bad luck for The Realest Champ in the Room, Alexander has shown little sympathy for his nemesis, kicking Enzo’s injured ankle after defeating Nese last week on WWE 205 Live. On Raw, Alexander once again defeated The Premier Athlete in front of Enzo, continuing to build more momentum before their championship match at Royal Rumble.
Although Cedric Alexander and Goldust are prepared for the Age of Alexander to begin in the Cruiserweight division, will The Certified G and The Zo Train be able to put a stop to Alexander’s string of success before the Cruiserweight Championship Match?
