WWE Cruiserweight Division: Updated Roster, Plans For RAW & NXT

WWE’s Cruiserweight Division is set to premiere on the RAW brand in less than two weeks and we’ve got a pretty good idea of how the roster will look. Following last night’s show, the following names will be featured on Monday Night RAW starting 9/19:

  • Johnny Gargano
  • Tommaso Ciampa
  • Brian Kendrick
  • Rich Swann
  • Noam Dar
  • TJ Perkins
  • Cedric Alexander
  • Akira Tozawa
  • Jack Gallagher
  • Gran Metalik

There are several WWE Superstars on the RAW roster that could work Cruiserweight matches and more names will be added in the months ahead, but these are the 10 men who will round out the division for now.

In recent weeks there have been reports that WWE is creating a new Cruiserweight Championship for the division, but it remains to be seen how the first champion will be crowned. WWE could award a championship to the winner of the Cruiserweight Classic tournament, but CWC favorites Kota Ibushi and Zach Sabre Jr. are not signed to WWE and are not expected to be part of RAW in the immediate future.

RAW’s cruiserweights will work RAW and NXT television, NXT live events and eventually RAW live events as well.
