5 Former WWE Cruiserweights: Where Are They Now?

Where is Rey Mysterio now?

#2 Billy Kidman

If fans heard the name Peter Gruner, then they probably wouldn't be able to put a face to the name. However, if the name Billy Kidman was used, then fans would recall a versatile, up and coming young talent that captured the WCW cruiserweight championship.

After leaving WWE in 2005, fans may not know what happened to him. He began to tour the independent scene in the United Kingdom, along with competing in part of the southern United States for a couple of years. Gruner returned to the WWE in 2007 and has remained with them ever since. Working behind the scenes rather than in front of them.

As part of what was once known as FCW, Gruner helped train young talent for a couple of years while also competing as well. In 2010, he took on the role of a road agent and producer with the company. Fans may see him now when he is in the midst of breaking up fights between wrestlers, as he did this past summer during a brawl between AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler. His love of wrestling is clearly evident, even after his years of in-ring competition.
