Ever since it was announced that “Monday Night Raw” would be the exclusive home of a new cruiserweight division, speculation had been running rampant as to which talent would be making their mark on the brand.

WWE.com published an article earlier today that answered this question, announcing the signings of six stars to the new division:

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

As mentioned in the article, TJ Perkins was the winner of the Cruiserweight Classic that was held exclusively on the WWE Network.

Editor’s Note:

Although I have not had the opportunity to watch much of the Cruiserweight Classic, I have been a huge fan of this style of wrestling ever since I had the opportunity to watch WCW as a teenager. I love the technical abilities of everything that these superstars have to offer, as well as the stories that they can tell with their skill sets. This is going to be great!
