In 2016, the WWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament featured the likes of Zack Sabre Jr., Kota Ibushi, Cedric Alexander, and others.
During a recent interview with Sportskeeda, Alexander commented on his WWE tenure and the tournament. He said,
“Oh, right off the bat, as soon as the news of me being released kind of shed, there were two matchups that kept repeating in my head. I somehow have to get these matches to happen again, and one is the match with Kota Ibushi. I’ve been hearing people really want to see that. We wrestled that one time at CWC, the Cruiserweight Classic. It was, for me, a career-making match, a life-changing match. So that’s something I’d like to get one more time just to see how it turns out, and another match with Mustafa Ali. My man, Mustafa. We’ve literally torn it up all over the world. France, Italy, Spain, all over the United States. That’s something I want to be able to come back on and say, all right, now we’ve grown up a little bit. We’ve had different paths. His running TNA has been doing great. I’m about to start this fresh new thing on the indies. I’m ready to see what we could do as more evolved versions of ourselves.”
During a recent interview with TSC News, Kayden Carter commented on some of her inspirations in professional wrestling growing up. She named the Four Horsewomen (Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks/Mercedes Mone, and Bayley). She said,
“Okay, this sounds like really bad, but it’s not. But I always loved not to emulate, but just to be on their journey, which it was the Four Horsewomen because I watched them so much in that era. So that’s what I feel like. It was all of them had a different journey. I feel like I resonated with each and every one of them in some different aspects. So I always wanted to follow just the journey. So never like the persona.”
