Put balor with the cruisers where he belongs - what's he doing, feuding with bray Wyatt? There's nothing to be gained there. If they're smart they'd drop the purple shyt at the same time Balor wins the title to show that cruiserweights don't have to be just 6 guys wrestling each other every week on an island separate from the roster. Get a buzzowrthy wildcard like pentagon jr in there, no one has personality other than Neville and Aries, try to bring the quality up to meet their level. Tony Neese and Drew Gulak are CAW status. More tozawa. Andrade Almas, gargano, roddy strong callups? try and keep it afloat til they finally sign ricochet. Xavier? The worlds ready for another Kofi singles push, he's 210. An angle where Jericho claims he's down to 205. No reason I should be seeing TJP dabbing and hanging in the ropes every Monday still. It can't get worse if it bombs fukk it

WWE runs a business. Demoting the current most popular babyface on Raw would be bad business.

This is why smarks don't book.

I know how smarky and unrealistic all of that is, just running through a bunch what ifs that's all. I was rooting for the division to hit and maybe lead to wwe trying more new things like the classic out.

Business wise it's obvious why Balor is where he is I'm just saying it's also obvious he's a cruiserweight.

Kinda would have had to do that before he became the first universal champion.

I would just dump the ropes gimmick, have some of the matches kick off the showwhile you still have the crowd like nitro did and have 205 after NXT since that crowd will dig them and they sat through a shorter show, Aries and Neville are doing well the others are out there in 5 minute matches and never fully showcase much, have em mix it up with guys that aren't in their division but would believably sell for them like a Miz so they aren't so isolated and pigeonholed, you could put some that aren't in singles feuds in the tag division too which I believe Matt Morgan suggested

The division suffers because they book it like it's just another bunch of WWE rasslers (different color ropes are NOT how you help the division standout) and it centers almost exclusively around Neville, Aries (who is too good of a personality to be stuck with the cruiserweights), TJP (who has NEVER even been over), and Gallagher.

Meanwhile, they have guys they've signed since the tournament that they aren't doing shyt with. Tozawa, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann and Mustafa Ali are criminally underutilized while boring-ass dudes like Nese, Gulak, Kendrick, and Dar get TV time. To help alleviate this problem, I think they should sign a few more guys and create a CW tag title.

The division has been a godsend for Neville though, whose WWE career had flatlined.
