10 Names Announced For WWE Raw's Cruiserweight Division
NXT regulars, high-flyers and technical masters are all coming to Raw.
It's been far too long since WWE has had a Cruiserweight Division, and thankfully, that's about to change, as we're less than two weeks away before it finally returns.
While we've seen 32 competitors in the Cruiserweight Classic, which will soon see one man winning the tournament, it looks like 10 of those wrestlers will find a home on Raw soon.
The names that have been officially announced for the division are:
-Johnny Gargano-Tommaso Ciampa-Brian Kendrick-Rich Swann-Noam Dar-TJ Perkins-Cedric Alexander-Akira Tozawa-Jack Gallagher-Gran Metalik
Gargano and Ciampa have been in NXT for some time now, and fans are familiar with Brian Kendrick from his work in the company a few years ago. The rest of the CWC competitors that WWE has signed will be new for fans who haven't been watching the tournament.
While Tajiri, Zack Sabre Jr. and Kota Ibushi would all have been excellent additions, the names listed should hopefully get the division off to a strong start.
The return of the Cruiserweights can't come soon enough. Raw feels like a bit of a mess at the moment, so injecting the show with a high dose of athleticism and new faces will certainly make things more interesting.
Less Darren Young vs. Titus O'Neil, and more Cedric Alexander vs. Noam Dar!
