Alexander’s allusion to a 90-day non-compete clause suggests he has been released rather than his contract being allowed to expire.
Cedric Alexander is best known in WWE for his role in The Hurt Business with MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin. Alexander and Benjamin held the Raw Tag Team Championship together. Lashley, MVP, and Benjamin have reformed as The Hurt Syndicate in AEW and that could be Alexander’s next likeliest destination.
