What’s the story?
Ariya Daivari recently took to social media to call out a professional wrestling critic who had some unflattering words for 205 Live.
The WWE Cruiserweight emphasised that the 205 Live brand comprises young, budding talent and both the performers as well as the brand require some time to reach their full potential.
In case you didn’t know...

The heart of the matter
The 28-year old Daivari apparently got wind of a certain wrestling critic’s unflattering comments about WWE’s 205 Live- a brand that features matchups centred around the WWE Cruiserweight division.
The Persian Lion didn’t take too kindly to the critic’s cynical take on the WWE Cruiserweight program. Daivari posted a lengthy message to address the same via his official Twitter handle.

Ariya Daivari presently performs in the WWE Cruiserweight division on RAW and 205 Live.
Author’s take
My hat is off to Ariya Daivari. The man expertly shut down a so-called ‘expert’ and cited excellent examples of how talent takes time to develop.
In my opinion, we ought to let the WWE Cruiserweight division grow, and find their own groove, per se, instead of taking a dismissive, negative approach toward them right from the start.
