WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander says he's "deeply sorry" for a tweet he wrote in 2012 joking about rape.

The tweet in question said "It's not rape if you yell surprise!!!"

"Six years ago I found "humor" in bad jokes," Alexander's statement reads. "At the time it was a harmless joke between friends. In those 6 years I've become a father, husband & grown into a much different man."

The 205 Live star adds, "I have offended and hurt many with my past and for that I am deeply sorry & apologize for my actions."

As we previously reported, Tye Dillinger had a similar situation arise yesterday and last night he tweeted an apology saying he's "beyond ashamed."
