“The Outlandish” Rich Swann’s path to the WWE Cruiserweight Championship was something out of a dream, but two former champions are out to turn Swann’s title reign into a short-lived nightmare.
Swann will defend his championship against The Brian Kendrick and TJ Perkins at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line in a battle of the Cruiserweight division’s three most decorated competitors.
The reigning WWE Cruiserweight Champion faces TJP on Raw.
Not only was Perkins the first WWE Cruiserweight Champion, he achieved the feat by winning this past summer’s Cruiserweight Classic — defeating Swann in the process. Perkins, of course, ultimately lost the title to his former mentor Kendrick, who was then defeated by Swann in the series premiere of WWE 205 Live. But even as Swann held Kendrick at bay, Perkins never strayed far from the title picture, and now, he will be given the chance to hit “reset” on his own reign while Kendrick looks to bring the title back under his control as well.
So the question is: Can Rich Swann handle this? Find out at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line, tonight at 8 ET/5 PT, live on WWE Network.
