#5 - Rich Swann
Rich Swann was signed to a WWE developmental contract in October 2015 yet has so far been limited in his opportunities to impress the WWE fans.
The Cruiserweight Classic however will give him the chance to show the World why he is considered one of the most exciting talents in the business.
Swann is definitely one to watch with his sensational, high-flying style but it’s his back story that is another reason why people are sure to get behind the man they call ‘Mr. Standing 450’.
Having lost his Father when he was 14 years old and then his Mother when he was 16, Swann was left alone and went down a dark path, he credits professional wrestling with saving his life and getting him back on track.
I expect to see Rich Swann go far in this tournament and if he is able to win it, it would be the culmination of a long, hard journey for the Baltimore-native and one that would be well received by the fans.
