who else can they put in unless they sign or bring in wrestlers from the classic?
or unless they raise the 205lb limit.
Sami Zayn
Neville
Kalisto
Sin Cara
Enzo Amore
Xavier Woods
and NXT guys
Finn Balor
Hideo Itami
thats 8 guys, and you probably need 8 to make a division...
2 others who could fit
Austin Aries could replace Itami
Chad Gable is in the weight class and could be going up, but I doubt American Alpha is breaking up yet.

I made a division out of 3 or 4 on Smackdown vs Raw. They'll be fine.

I'm sure guys from the CWC who are going to be signed will be brought up for the division.
but I am super excited that they are bringing back the cruiserweight division. I'm happy its going to be on Raw, but for some reason I feel it would have been better on Smackdown, but thats just my opinion.
But still Super Excited!!!
My money is on Neville be the first champion for the new division.

They already signed Ibushi, Tajiri and Metallik from the CWC, id be surprised if they didn't also sign Cedric Alexander, Zack Sabre Jr, Kendrick, and a few others.
Add that to Neville, Kalisto, Aries and others and theres your division

figure that the 3-2 Raw/Smackdown picks are going to be that extra pick for RAW will be a cruiserweight.
and in the "Draft" only 6 NXT people can be picked.
I'm doubting that half the division will be CWC wrestlers... although that would be nice....
it's really going to defeat the purpose of the draft if they just grab half the division from the CWC after the draft takes place.
I can see them sooner expanding the weight class
to be able to include people like
Tyler Breeze
Zack Ryder
Aiden English
AJ Styles
Seth Rollins
into matches every once in a while.

I honestly don't agree with a whole Cruiserweight division. Then when someone like AJ, who would fit the division, goes fot the World Title, the casual fan's perspective will be like "Shouldn't he be in the Cruiserweight division ". I mean I'm not saying the Cruiserweight division would suck or they would have AJ work the Cruiserweight division, but i don't think its that great of an idea

Bring back Matt hardy for the cruiser weight division, heard he was drinking banana juice to slim down.

Going to be interesting to see the cruiserweight division for a change I wonder if they will bring back the title also since the cruiserweight division is on raw does that mean smackdown will have something special like being home to the divas division or tag team division?

I think a cool idea for this division would be to bring in a bunch of guys on short term deals. Have a small core group then keep finding fresh new faces to make a few appearances and put on some good matches. Then they go away, maybe come back at a later time, or stick around if they really make an impact.
I think that would be exciting. Kinda like how most of the guys in the CWC don't actually work for WWE.

If they go by the old rules, the old Cruiserweight division had either a 215, or 225 lbs weight limit I think.

If this has any chance of working, and not severely limiting a lot of talent, they need to implement the same weight limit they're using for the CWC. The company, as a whole, has shifted to smaller athletes since the last time they tried this.
Guys like Sami Zayn and AJ Styles should not be competing in the Cruiserweight division in 2016.

I'm torn between wanting to see the entire division built around a heel Austin Aries and not wanting to see him pigeon holed to the division at all.

The X Division is one idea I'd be fine with Vince stealing. |

Guys like Styles and Zayn will have no problem staying where theyre at, the same way Eddie, Benoit, Mysterio, HBK and others were'nt limited once they broke that glass ceiling. I see the new CW division as an exciting division of new wrestlers that are being given the oppurtunity on Raw and being on the low end of the card, and are being given the chance to swing and knock it out of the park the same way cruisers before them did. Its a lot easier to enjoy when you look at the division as a way for a ton of guys to get their foot in the door when in the past that door was slammed, locked and the key thrown away. It going to be great and breathe new life and grow the show as a whole.
