If WWE fans are excited about what is going to happen with both Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live now that the company has found success with Battleground and is moving toward SummerSlam, then they have to be equally excited about the Cruiserweight Classic tournament that has been a total success on the WWE Network.

The innovative concept, which has once again given all of us a chance to see some of the greatest talent from across the globe is just one more reason WWE is making this new “era” it continually talks about work in ways it should have been doing five years ago.

Here are five things that could go wrong if the company does not work hard to make the cruiserweight division one of the best parts of the new WWE machine.
