WWE Reportedly Want To Drop The NXT Cruiserweight Title

WWE are reportedly considering getting rid of the NXT Cruiserweight Championship as part of changes to the 205 Live division.

Roderick Strong is the reigning Cruiserweight Champion and is set to defend the Title against Joe Gacy at Sunday's NXT WarGames. Gacy is over the 205 pound weight limit to challenge for the Championship but Strong and Malcolm Bivens waived the rule so the Diamond Mind leader could fight Gacy.

With Gacy teasing introducing an 'All-Inclusive' Championship, Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that he has heard talk of WWE potentially getting rid of the Cruiserweight Title.

Meltzer said, Did you see the Joey Gacy segment? It feels like they’re going to change the 205 Live…I’ve heard they want to ditch the Cruiserweight Title. The All-Inclusive Championship, is that the deal?"

When Bryan Alvarez noted that NXT already had two separate Championships for the men's division in NXT in the NXT Title and the North American Title, Meltzer argued that different people are now running the show.

Meltzer continued: "It’s different people running. Like the old people running, it would not have…they wanted the Cruiserweight Title to be legit. They told everyone to be 205 and under or they can’t be in the division. You think these guys are going to do weigh-ins? They stopped doing weigh-ins a long time ago.

"The whole idea of Joe Gacy challenging for the Cruiserweight Title and Malcolm Bivens waiving the weight limit….but yeah, that’s from what I understand. The whole 205 Live is not how Vince [McMahon] does things. We’ll see what happens, but they’ve talked about that. I know they’ve talked about changing the 205 Live with the Cruiserweight Title thing. I don’t know if they’re going to do it in this situation here. It feels like they are because Gacy is getting all kinds of TV time."
