Speculation about WWE getting rid of the cruiserweight title
During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com discussed Joe Gacy challenging Roderick Strong for the cruiserweight title at the NXT WarGames PPV despite not being a cruiserweight…
“Did you [Bryan Alvarez] see the Joey Gacy segment? It feels like they’re going to change the 205 Live… I’ve heard they want to ditch the Cruiserweight Title. The All-Inclusive Championship, is that the deal?”
“It’s different people running. Like the old people running, it would not have…they wanted the Cruiserweight Title to be legit. They told everyone to be 205 and under or they can’t be in the division. You think these guys are going to do weigh-ins? They stopped doing weigh-ins a long time ago. The whole idea of Joe Gacy challenging for the Cruiserweight Title and Malcolm Bivens waiving the weight limit….but yeah, that’s from what I understand. The whole 205 Live is not how Vince [McMahon] does things. We’ll see what happens, but they’ve talked about that. I know they’ve talked about changing the 205 Live with the Cruiserweight Title thing. I don’t know if they’re going to do it in this situation here. It feels like they are because Gacy is getting all kinds of TV time.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
