#7 Cruiserweight Division(multiple superstars)

r205 is LIVE.....but not necessarily ALIVE.

When news broke about the return of the Cruiserweight Championship, which ultimately led to the upstart division we now know as 205 Live, I was cautiously hopeful. I'll be the first to admit that I was a huge mark for the old glory days of the WCW Cruiserweight Division, but I was not sure how a segregated brand would sustain long-term or even short-term success for that matter.

WWE went after some pretty stout names to help beef up the cruiserweight division. Names like Drew Gulak, Tony Nese, Noam Dar and THE Brian Kendrick were just a few that would help get this thing up and running. Unfortunately, the hype was just that...hype!

Enough time has now passed. If this was going to be a success, we would have seen some signs of hope by now. Unfortunately, it's just not there. I don't believe the entire division will be sent packing, but I do see several of these guys taking a walk. When it's all said and done, the guys of 205, rather those who survive the cuts, they will be merged into normal, main roster action. Some will likely also be sent to Orlando to join the Yellow Squad of NXT.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
