5 Things WWE can adopt from New Japan Pro Wrestling

#3 Creating a Junior Heavyweight Division

This Junior Heavyweight division gives smaller wrestlers a chance (PC: NJPW)

One of the most impressive things that New Japan Pro Wrestling has done is create a Junior Heavyweight Division that matters almost as much as its Heavyweight Division. This Junior Heavyweight division gives a chance for some smaller wrestlers – both in name and in stature – an opportunity to truly shine.

After all, Finn Balor made his name as a nine-time Junior Heavyweight Champion in NJPW before making the jump over to the WWE. The Cruiserweight Division is a shadow of what it could be and the NJPW’s Junior Heavyweight division is the perfect example of what the WWE should be aiming for instead.
