After the success of the Cruiserweight Classic tournament in the summer of 2016, the cruiserweights were given their own show to showcase their craft. Most fans will agree that the cruiserweight division hasn't been exactly what most of us thought it would be. Because of that most fans have either given up on the show or are on the verge of giving up.
Today I'm going to look at three NXT superstars that I think WWE could call up in order to save the Cruiserweight Division.
#3 Lio Rush
Lio Rush was signed to the NXT band at the age of 22 in June of 2017, after being one of the biggest standouts in the independent scene. He participated in Ring of Honor's training camp, only six months after his debut.
Lio Rush is a fantastic talent and in-ring performer for only being in the business for barely three years. If WWE could get this young man's attitude in check, he could be a young breakout star of the Cruiserweight division in no time. It's hard to recover from the amount of heat Lio rush has and I have faith that he could be a consistent person to have on 205 live weekly.
Despite all his backstage heat, I hope WWE doesn't lose faith in this young man and gives him a chance to shine on 205 Live.
#2 Ricochet
Although Trevor "Ricochet " Maan hasn't officially debuted for NXT yet, there's no way I could leave out the former Prince Puma on a list of potential NXT call-ups for 205 live. There's no doubt in the world that Ricochet is one of the best high flying wrestlers in the wrestling world who could do absolutely unremarkable things inside the ring.
With Triple H seemingly now in charge of 205 Live, he would be wise to bring up Ricochet and let him display his incredible high flying wrestling. If Ricochet is allowed, he could easily amaze any crowd on a weekly basis. I'm not sure how serious Triple H is about rebuilding the cruiserweight division and it's flagship show 205 Live. If he is, Ricochet is the best man to build the same due to him being teh perfect representation of exactly what it's about.
With his trademarked finisher the mind-blowing 630 splash having the ability to amaze anybody and 205 live having great wrestlers for him to work with, Ricochet is the man for the job.
#1 Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa
Although these two are no longer a team, I've decided to put lump these 2 together. Last week on NXT, Johnny Gargano accepted a match where if he doesn't get win the NXT championship he will leave NXT. I predict that Tommaso Ciampa will cost Johnny Gargano the championship sending him to the main roster and on to NXT. The problem is this feud is just now beginning after Ciampa attacked Gargano with a crutch after his 5-star NXT championship match.
205 Live could use this feud as a way to get more hardcore fans to watch the show. Gargano could be the number 1 babyface of the division while Ciampa is the number 1 heel of the division. If given time, these two could get a lot of eyes on the cruiserweight division.
Well, that's all for today. If you have any more names that can be added to this list, sound off in eh comments section below!
