8 Wrestlers WWE Must Sign For The New Cruiserweight Division

8. KUSHIDA

New Japan Pro Wrestling's highly-decorated KUSHIDA is bound to have drawn WWE's attention by now.

He has already reached the pinnacle of New Japan Pro Wrestling, completing the quadfecta of the IGWP singles and tag titles and Best of Super Junior and Super J Cup wins. His fusion of aerials and submissions cast him as a man who could compliment perfectly practically anybody in the burgeoning division. His awe-inspiring ability to smoothly reverse even the most lightning quick aerial attacks into submissions should be predictable - it's a well he often draws from - that it isn't is a testament to his absorbing storytelling prowess.

He also has an enviable MMA record, lending him serious credibility - something his peers, often derided for their predilection for "flippy sh*t" do not - infusing his matches with the authenticity many feel is lacking in the NJPW Junior scene.

His extensive history with Tajiri is also something WWE could draw on in order to introduce him to their "Universe"; no longer unwilling to acknowledge that other promotions exist outside of their bubble, this recently-introduced narrative device could also be used to initiate a series with Finn Bálor.
