I’m about to preface everything I’m about to say here with; yes, I know, it’s only the Cruiserweight Title.

This show has to matter. WWE have long terms plans to take these huge one-off shows around the world and, indeed, with TV ratings plummeting their future business model largely depends on them. The novelty is there now, but it will wear off quickly if they start to resemble glorified house shows.
