Here's a recap of the ups and downs from The Royal Rumble

#2 Worst: Complete silence for the cruiserweights

From a massive roaring crowd during the Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens match, we came to the cruiserweights. There was more silence for this segment than there is in libraries. Clearly, no one cares about this division at all.

Soon after we came to the John Cena vs. AJ Styles match and the crowd was vocal again.

This has been a continuing trend, even during 205 Live. The match in itself wasn’t bad at all. We think Neville is a great champion for the division too. Sadly, there was absolutely no heat at all, like always.
