#3 Will the Cruiserweight Division still be around this time next year?

The man for the job?

Neville's departure from the WWE has caused a lot of speculation as to the future fate of the company's Cruiserweight Division. Neville has easily been the most interesting aspect of the roster for the past year, exceeding expectations and becoming a very effective long-term heel champion.

Now the division seems to be in the hands of Enzo Amore, and for all of the positive things we can say about him in terms of his mic skills and charisma, TLC showed us all that he does not appear to have the wrestling ability to maintain the weight of 205 Live on his shoulders.

One of the main criticisms aimed at the division is that they do not really focus enough on high-flying cruiserweight action. A lot of the matches we see on RAW and PPVs have too much mat-based wrestling included, and considering almost everyone on the main roster has the ability to do high-flying moves anyway, there doesn't seem to be much point in a cruiserweight-only show.

With Neville gone, the division's problems will be slightly different. His advanced mic skills will entertain for a while but the focus will once again be drawn away from the action. The WWE really needs to start building up some of the lesser known talents rather than relying on smaller guys who have failed on the main roster like Enzo and Kalisto.
