10 Wrestlers Who Will Suffer The Most In WWE NXT's New Era
6. Kushida
It is long established that WWE doesn't place much value on cruiserweights. Sure, there have been some talents to break through the glass ceiling like Rey Mysterio or Eddie Guererro, but neither of them were given the same attention as their larger peers.
Modern NXT has helped give less colossal performers a platform, but this return to the old ways could pull the rug from under them.
Kushida's debut for WWE NXT was long-awaited, and the illustrious NJPW star seemed poised to make a splash. It's safe to say that his initial time with the brand wasn't the runaway success that we were hoping for, but as time pushed along, he started to impress and has now found himself over 100 days into a Cruiserweight Title reign.
It's unclear what will happen to the Cruiserweight division once this change occurs, but no matter what, it's possible that it is going to be pushed to the side even more than it already is. Sadly for Kushida, he may not be able to split time and save his push.
