Alexander stated that there was a bit of relief when he got word that he'd be heading to NXT.

“My initial reaction moving to NXT was a bit of relief, because it was somewhere new. I hadn’t really spent much time in NXT when I first signed. So, I looked at it as an opportunity to try and spread my wings more and see if I can get more out of my opportunities there and I went there, didn’t work out but, going in, I had high hopes. It was up there.”

Along the way, he formed an on-screen partnership with Je'Von Evans. Alexander said he loved teaming with Evans.

“Oh! I loved teaming with Je’Von (Evans). Je’Von’s great. I actually trained with him a little bit right before he signed so… he’s a great kid.”

Present day, Alexander is back on the independent scene, and he's made his TNA debut during which he confronted Mustafa Ali.
