Talk about the brightest stars in professional wrestling! I have had the pleasure of seeing some of these gentlemen wrestle live and on pay-per-view and know they have the in-ring abilities to tango with the biggest WWE Superstars. If you aren’t familiar with any of these amazing athletes, WWE.com has released footage of their Cruiserweight qualification matches for you to see why and how they made their way one step closer to the WWE ring.
Be sure to tune into the Cruiserweight Classics on Wednesday, July 13th only on the WWE Network!
