WWE News: Big update on the Global Cruiserweight Series

WWE CEO Triple H announced earlier this year, that a tournament will be held around June-July this year that would showcase the best Cruiserweight talents. The most special factor about this tournament is that wrestlers from all over the world are going to compete against each other for the prize.

NXT General Manager (and WWE Developmental trainer & scout) William Regal, during his appearance at the internet pay per view of Evolve 56 in Brooklyn on 19th March:

“Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I'm here - I'll get to it. In a few months time, the WWE will be holding the Global Cruiserweight Series. 32 of the finest cruiserweights from around the world will compete, and I am here tonight because I'm obviously scouting for those competitors.

Most importantly, qualifying matches for the Global Cruiserweight Series will be taking place all over the world, but the qualifying matches here in America will be taking place at Evolve.

So please, keep an eye out on the website and find out exactly when they are.”

With Evolve being one of the scouting grounds for the tournament, expect WWE to look towards other well-known promotions in the United States, Mexico and Japan for some sought after names for the much-anticipated series.
