10 Reasons WWE's Cruiserweight Division Isn't Working
3. Classic WWE Shoehorning
WWE doesn't have a good track record at all when it comes to exclusive divisions. The cruiserweight division has already fallen into the same traps as others, to the point where cruiserweight matches on RAW now already feel like 'oh here's the cruiserweight bit'.
Multiple wrestlers are getting thrown into short segments with no real rhyme or reason, looking aesthetically different but not offering anything outside of that. The cruiserweight division has become something if an anonymous mesh, a group of junior heavyweights bumping into each other in a bright purple shell.
They come out, they wrestle, they leave. There is no room for them to breathe. Messrs. Gulak, Nese, Swann, Alexander et al have their specially-designated time-frame in which to go out and wow an audience, with little help from those whose entire job it is to create narratives for them.
It didn't work for the old Diva's division, and it isn't going to work for the cruiserweight division.
