3 Questions from WWE Raw, January 2

1. What is Creative Doing with the Cruiserweight Division?
The Cruiserweight division is often being treated much like the Women’s division. Despite having 205 Live on Tuesdays, the division has failed to gain traction among the Raw viewers. There have been less character development and more often that not, the division features the same bunch of competitors week after week. Neville’s addition could perhaps be the cure for this.
However, the biggest problem with how the Cruiserweights have been booked is the frequent title changes. Neville could very well be the fourth champion and the division has not been around for too long. At least now, creative would have to plan for a lengthy title reign to ensure some level of credibility for the title and the division.

This week featured two cruiserweight matches that lasted roughly the same amount of time a Women’s division match would last before the revolution. The first match did little to advance the story or character. At least in the second match, TJ Perkins got in more offense. However, nobody else in the division seems poised to stand a chance against Neville. Perhaps that would give creative a reason to crown him and then have the high flyer rule the division with a strong and length reign.
