Fresh off his WWE departure, Cedric Alexander has confirmed plans to continue his in-ring career with sights set on a television wrestling return. The former Cruiserweight Champion’s eight-and-a-half-year WWE tenure ended in February 2025, but the 35-year-old emphasized he’s far from done during a Sportskeeda Backstage Pass appearance.
100%. I feel like I have a lot to add to a weekly product. I’ve essentially been wrestling on TV my entire career… I definitely feel like I have a lot to offer in terms of a weekly television show, whatever show that may be.
As the sole Hurt Business alumnus not currently signed to AEW, Alexander’s free agency presents intriguing possibilities. His 16-year career includes notable runs in Ring of Honor and WWE, where he captured the Cruiserweight Championship and tag team gold. The high-flyer’s proven TV readiness and championship experience make him an attractive free agent as wrestling’s “Forbidden Door” era continues.
Alexander’s comments suggest he’s prioritizing platforms with regular television exposure, potentially positioning him for returns to ROH, TNA, or debuts in other major promotions. His availability coincides with several companies expanding their rosters ahead of summer programming schedules.
