Every WWE Cruiserweight Classic Wrestler - Where Are They Now?

4. Zack Sabre, Jr.

Tournament result: Defeated in the semifinals by Gran Metalik.

What was he doing at the time?

What wasn't he doing at the time? After having built a steady track record across Europe and Japan, Zack Sabre Jr. finally broke through to the mainstream between 2015 and 2016, bookending his impressive rise with respective victories in PWG's Battle of Los Angeles and wXw's 16 Carat Gold, and was reportedly slated to continue his streak of tournament victories by winning WWE's Cruiserweight Classic. His choosing a deal with New Japan over Vince McMahon swung the axe through those plans.

What is he doing now?

Continuing to prove that he made the correct decision for his career longevity. In his almost-decade run with the Japanese market-leader, ZSJ has held the Heavyweight, Intercontinental, World Television, Tag Team and NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championships, has lifted the trophies for the G1 Climax, New Japan Cup and World Tag League, and has been able to wrestle the best of the best in 5-star classics against Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson and countless others.

As a wrestler's wrestler, why wouldn't you choose that over wrestling the same flacid loop of house show matches with The Miz?
