New WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick announces a Cruiserweight Championship Tournament: WWE 205 Live, Jan. 30, 2018

Introduced by SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan, new WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick announces a Cruiserweight Championship Tournament that will crown a new champion at WrestleMania.

Last week on WWE 205 Live, the Cruiserweight division changed forever as new General Manager Drake Maverick was introduced to the WWE Universe. Maverick immediately addressed the future of the WWE Cruiserweight Title, announcing a 16-man Cruiserweight Championship Tournament that would crown a new champion at WrestleMania.

The first two matches of the tournament pitted Cedric Alexander against Gran Metalik, and TJP against Tyler Bate. The inclusion of the first-ever WWE U.K. Champion served as proof positive that Maverick was looking to live up to his promise of including the best Cruiserweights in the world. Tonight, Maverick has tapped NXT’s Roderick Strong to take on Hideo Itami in what is sure to be a hard-hitting, high-octane contest.

With the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament off to an incredible start, what else does Maverick have planned for WWE 205 Live? What other competitors could make their way to WWE 205 Live?
