WWE posted a video on social media of Roman Reigns and Ali greeting Cedric Alexander backstage after his match against Oney Lorcan on this week’s 205 Live.
The video shows the two main roster stars giving praise to the Cruiserweight performer after his final match on the 205 Live brand.
As noted, Alexander was included in the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up, as he was drafted to the RAW roster.
