Speaking of that division, it looks incredibly strong ahead of its return to WWE main roster programming. TJ Perkins was crowned the first Cruiserweight Champion of the new era, and there are already a number of potential challengers for wrestling's youngest veteran.

Perkins defeated Swann, Gargano and Gran Metalik on his way to victory, and all three of those men will be looking for revenge with the new purple belt on the line. Jack Gallagher, Cedric Alexander, Noam Dar, Akira Tozawa and Tommaso Ciampa are also confirmed to be involved, whilst Brian Kendrick may well add an article to his name in the hope of adding a championship to his resume.

All this without mentioning the men already waiting on RAW who already make weight for the division, men like Sami Zayn, Xavier Woods, Sin Cara and arguably the biggest threat, Neville.
