Tozawa and Itami's rivalry may be a focal point for the Cruiserweight division.

With Buddy Murphy being set to defend the Cruiserweight Championship against Kalisto, Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa at Royal Rumble, it seems very likely that the Cruiserweight title will change hands as there doesn't seem to be any potential title switches on the show.

And the best possible option to finally become the Cruiserweight Champion would be none other than Akira Tozawa himself.

However, at WrestleMania, Itami's opponents should arrive in the form of Lio Rush and Akira Tozawa. Tozawa and Itami have plenty of history that can be explored further, and this can be the focus of this match. On the other hand, you have Lio Rush who is immensely developing his character whilst being paired up with Bobby Lashley. The reason why Murphy will not be in this match is due to the fact that by the time WrestleMania comes, he probably would have already had his rematch for the title in a losing effort.

This match will be fast paced and hard hitting, as we see three of the most talented Cruiserweight competitors take each other to their absolute limits. Expect Rush to take advantage of the carnage that Tozawa and Itami cause, with Itami nailing Tozawa with a GTS only for Rush to throw Itami out of the ring and pinning Tozawa to steal the championship away in the process. This is so that Rush can be a double champion with Lashley.

Winner and NEW Cruiserweight Champion: Lio Rush
