Now that the Cruiserweight Classic has come to a close, and TJ Perkins won his dick-shaped trophy and a fancy new Cruiserweight title belt, WWE is moving full steam ahead with their flippiest new division.
Friday afternoon, WWE announced a half dozen names who will be chasing down TJP for the chance to become the next Cruiserweight Champion on Monday nights. Via WWE.com:

Outlasting 31 other competitors from all around the globe, the charismatic T.J. Perkins emerged as the winner of the Cruiserweight Classic Wednesday night, and will bring the WWE Cruiserweight Championship to Raw in Memphis … but he won’t be alone.
WWE.com can confirm that the following Cruiserweights are also joining Team Red:
- Brian Kendrick
- Rich Swann
- Gran Metalik
- Cedric Alexander
- Lince Dorado
- Noam Dar
I’m not sure if “charismatic” is a word I’ve ever heard used to describe TJ Perkins, but sure, let’s go with it. Now that WWE is balls deep in its New Era, who would you like to see join these competitors? Are you excited for the return of a legitimate Cruiserweight Division, or do you remain hesitant knowing the restrictions that are often placed on performers of this type? Let us know in the comments below.
