WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Cedric Alexander, recently took the time to put Lio Rush in his place on Twitter. He got in a shot at former Cruiserweight Champion, Enzo Amore, as well.
Rush earned himself some heat late last year after posting an insensitive remark concerning Emma following her WWE release. His upcoming debut in the cruiserweight division is currently being built up on episodes of 205 Live with a series of vignettes. Possibly in response to his reputation, Rush is being portrayed as an arrogant and entitled young prospect.
Rush and Alexander have been having a back and forth on Twitter recently.
That's funny, you're funny?
Do something more than being a loud mouth on Twitter and maybe I'll take you seriously.
Remember where that got ya last time??? https://t.co/TgXfjpodxc

The most significant comment was given by Alexander, who roasted both Rush and Enzo Amore in the same comment:
This coming from the kid who wants to be a fake rapper. We had one of those on 205Live.
You wanna end up like him?
I suggest you watch your mouth youngster pic.twitter.com/M8gbDzA5lo
