5 Bold predictions for Survivor Series 2016

#3 Cruiserweight Division goes to SmackDown

The Cruiserweight experiment on Raw has yielded luke warm results so far

The rationale behind the unique look, roster and storylines for the Cruiserweight division is that Raw’s bland programming could do with a bit of spicing up. Also, having fast paced and technical matches, in theory at least, is a better way to fill up 3 hours of television time that was otherwise littered with unnecessarily drawn out promos and segments.

But as has been Monday Night Raw’s wont for the longest time now, it seems incapable of sustaining interest in a long-term program unless it involves the ‘Authority’. It is of little surprise then, that the Cruiserweight division that followed up from the CWC tournament, has hardly done justice to it.

SmackDown, on the other hand, has been bandied about as the ‘Land of Opportunity’. A Kalisto victory over Brian Kendrick ensures a fresh start for the Cruiserweights in the blue brand and also injects some direly needed depth to its floundering roster.

A win-win scenario.
