WWE Retains Cedric Alexander with Multi-Year Contract Amid Industry Shifts

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander has reportedly renewed his contract with WWE. The new deal, described as “multi-year” in length, comes at a time when many wrestlers are moving between promotions like AEW and WWE. Alexander’s retention by WWE highlights the company’s efforts to keep valuable talent amid industry-wide changes.

Alexander’s journey with WWE began in 2016 when he participated in the Cruiserweight Classic tournament. His impressive performance, particularly against Kota Ibushi, earned him fan support and a contract offer from WWE. Since then, he has been part of both NXT and Raw brands, showcasing his skills and gaining popularity.

Currently, Alexander has returned to NXT with a focus on mentoring younger talents. His recent involvement in a match on September 3, where he assisted Je’Von Evans against members of Gallus, demonstrates his new role in supporting emerging wrestlers. This shift in Alexander’s career direction adds value to his presence in NXT and contributes to the development of WWE’s future stars.
