What if WWE buys out Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor?

#3 205 Live expands

Buddy Murphy would see an influx of new Cruiserweight challengers with the acquisition of ROH and Impact.

Early on, 205 Live looked as though it would suffer from WWE not taking its smaller talents seriously, and feel like a demotion below Raw, SmackDown, and arguably even NXT. After the Enzo Amore fiasco, and after Triple H took the reins of the brand, it has solidified into a respectable show geared toward old school fans who enjoy in-ring action and stripped down storytelling without over the top drama.

If WWE were to acquire ROH and Impact, and particularly if it were to take on the rosters of each promotion, it could be a major score for 205 Live with a high volume of relatively small wrestlers joining the company. The Cruiserweight roster may well explode and conceivably even justify a second hour of 205 Live to get regular TV time lined up for a larger selection of the purple brand’s diverse array of top stars.
