Why Cedric Alexander could be WWE's next big star

I first started watching Ring of Honor weekly in the summer of 2014, but by the fall, I stopped tuning in because I had lost interest in the product. However, once I got back into it the subsequent summer upon its (brief) move to Destination America, one of the first matches I saw featured Cedric Alexander beating Moose, handing the previously undefeated star his premier singles loss in ROH.

It was a memorable moment for the young Alexander, and at that moment, I immediately took notice of him. Of course, his exceptional in-ring work only made me a bigger fan of his over time, and it was apparent to me early on that he had the tools necessary to be a big star in the promotion.

And with a win over Moose, that seemed to be in the cards for the up-and-coming athlete.

Unfortunately, the feud didn't pan out too well for Alexander, and within a matter of months, he was worse off than he was prior to the program. Sure, they contested a strong series of matches together, but he hardly benefited from working with Moose, to whom he lost on almost every occasion from that point forward.
