Cedric Alexander Credits X Division For Modern Wrestling Style
“I watched a clip earlier, randomly, of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. They had a match, and Cody did the Cross Rhodes off the top rope to Seth Rollins. That’s an X Division spot. I’m calling it right now.— Cedric Alexander
TNA wrestler Cedric Alexander told Medd in the Morning that the high-risk, boundary-pushing approach pioneered by the X Division is now standard across promotions including WWE, AEW, AAA and CMLL. He cited a specific spot from a Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rollins match where Rhodes hit Cross Rhodes off the top rope as an example of an X Division-style move. Alexander added that performers like Rollins, Kalisto and Rey Mysterio all incorporate that approach.
