Every WWE Cruiserweight Classic Wrestler - Where Are They Now?

30. Kenneth Johnson

Tournament result: Defeated in the first round by Akira Tozawa.

What was he doing at the time?

Not much. The Mr. Hughes-trained Kenneth Johnson was selected for the Cruiserweight Classic with just 10 recorded matches on Cagematch, but what a 10 matches they are. Originally known as Weazy Woo (christ!) he shared the ring with former and future WWE stars Funaki and Ricky Saints, had a one-off match for Ring Of Honor, and did jobbing honours for pre-'Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman during a set of WWE Main Event tapings. That match never made it to air, but it must have been something of a hidden gem, considering WWE took a gamble on him for the Cruiserweight Classic.

What is he doing now?

Not much...maybe. Johnson's Cagematch profile lists him as having wrestled just 5 matches following his elementary first-round loss to Akira Tozawa, the last of which was a post-Royal Rumble 2020 defeat to Aleister Black on Raw, but scrolling through his profile on X reveals him as being an active wrestler as of 2022. It's anybody's guess if he's still going strong today.
