5 Ways WWE Can Improve The Cruiserweight Division

During the Cruiserweight Classic Tournament, there was a lot of emphasis on the character of each wrestler. We saw regular interviews with the competitors and as a result, we understood each character, their personalities, and their motivations. If you watched the CWC, you probably had no problem following those wrestlers when they transitioned to the main roster. However, many WWE fans won't have watched any of the CWC, and WWE didn't seem to take that into consideration

Due to the already mentioned flaws with the Cruiserweights' introduction to the main roster, their inaugural match that night was pointless. For all intents and purposes, it was just four random guys fighting for a shot at a championship that hadn't even appeared on TV yet. They couldn't even be bothered to send the champion down to the announce table where he could have at least tried to establish some kind of rapport with the viewers.

As it stands, the Cruiserweights are just filling a gap in the schedule that prior to the 'Women's Revolution' would probably have been filled with a 'bra and panties' match or something equally inane. With three hours to fill, it wouldn't be difficult to find some time to present more back story for the characters on Raw. With an hour fewer of programming, moving the division to SmackDown might present a problem in this respect, but it wouldn't be impossible.

WWE doesn't need to create new stories and motivations for the Cruiserweights - that was already done during the CWC - they just need to be willing to showcase the ones that have already been developed. The problem is, they don't seem to be inclined to do this at all. Now that the Cruiserweights are on the main roster, they seem to be fighting a losing battle for the attention of the script writers.
