5 Titles that should move brands in the WWE draft

#2 The Cruiserweight title should be moved to SmackDown

The WWE Cruiserweight title is currently in a state of flux as the future of 205 Live remains uncertain.

Last week's episode of 205 Live was canceled before SmackDown's premiere on FOX, but it appears as if the Cruiserweight show will be returning live to the WWE Network this Friday night immediately following SmackDown.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Last week on WWE NXT, it was announced that the Cruiserweight title had been rebranded as the NXT Cruiserweight title, meaning the title will be defended more on NXT now that the show has moved to USA Network.

While NXT does indeed feel like a good home for the Cruiserweight title, it might be a good idea to give the title even more of a higher profile by having it defended regularly on SmackDown on Friday nights.

In a surprising move, Drew Gulak could be drafted to SmackDown on Raw next week, setting up the possibility for the Cruiserweight title to be defended on both NXT television and on SmackDown television. The SmackDown brand would benefit greatly from the high-flying action of the Cruiserweight division, and the title would get a good boost from being featured on network TV.
