7 Potential Teams For WWE's Cruiserweight Tag Division
Who will lead 205 Live's new division?
According to recent reports, WWE is set to introduce an additional title to its ranks following WrestleMania - specifically, a Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship belt, to be contested by the cast of 205 Live.
Should this prove accurate, it's bound to raise one or two eyebrows. The company already divides what few tag teams it has between three divisions on Raw, SmackDown and NXT; bringing in a fourth, therefore, seems instinctively like the kind of move that may dilute the quality even further.
On the other hand, that Drake Maverick's show is haemorrhaging both viewers online and live attendees is an open secret. If WWE's aim here is to get fans invested in the overall product, beyond merely the two wrestlers who make it to pay-per-view each month, then there are worse things they could try.
An obvious problem remains, though: at the moment, there simply aren't enough recognised teams on 205 Live to make a tag division worth watching. To remedy this, officials will need to step up their indie recruitment drive, start throwing teams together from the existing roster, and perhaps even draft in some of the main brand teams.

The idea of Jinder Mahal's heavies dominating the 205 Live tag team ranks is unlikely to get too many fans' pulses racing, but this is an obvious move that actually makes a lot of sense both for their own careers and the division as a whole.
For one thing, they're one of few teams in WWE that, according to official weight billings, would actually qualify as Cruiserweights, both of them having been eliminated from the inaugural "Classic" tournament in the first round back in June of 2016.
On a personal note, having spent much of the time since doing the bidding of the Modern Day Maharaja, they could probably use the opportunity to show the world that there's more to them than merely the ability to get beaten up by Randy Orton.
Finally, they're a pair of established heels, something that any tag team division - particularly one populated primarily by crowd-pleasing high-flyers - desperately needs. For this reason alone, it's easy to envisage them having a big role to play in the title's formative months.
