Add Cedric Alexander to the list of guys that Paul Heyman is currently high on at the moment.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, the former Cruiserweight Champion is one of the favorites of the RAW Executive Director, which could ultimately lead to a push down the line (transcript courtesy of wrestletalk):
“Paul Heyman is very high on Cedric, it’s very clear. If you watch the TV you can tell.”
The wrestling journalist never states whether Alexander is set for a huge push down the line; however, the former 205 Live star will probably be given a chance to have a strong showing in the King of The Ring tournament given this news.
Alexander is set to face Sami Zayn in the first-round of the competition. In addition to Alexander, Heyman is reportedly high on Ricochet and Braun Strowman at the moment. It’s expected for Strowman to face Seth Rollins at Clash of Champions for the Universal title.
