This is honestly a complete guess given how they have booked the division since its inception. I blame this solely on the writing and booking rather than the wrestlers themselves. The booking has been random, the feuds haven't been compelling, and in my mind, the WWE has not given us a reason to care about these wrestlers. The 205 Live show has somewhat brought back some of the momentum, but overall the excitement brought by the CWC is no longer there. Remember when I mentioned the Cruiserweight Classic as one of the WWE highlights this year? Unfortunately just about everything the WWE has done since then with the cruiserweights has been awful. Rich Swann (champ) for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Sami gets a nice rub for enduring a monster while Braun continues to be an up and coming beast. I think Sami Zayn will take a beating for the entire 10 minutes but last until the end. Mick Foley's role in this story has been great as he has given some of the most passionate promos detailing what it will take to beat the undefeated Braun Strowman. Braun has wanted better competition, Sami Zayn has stepped up several times but continues to come up short. The WWE has done a good job with this David versus Goliath storyline. Braun Strowman (10 minute time limit match) The loss won't hurt Big Cass who I'm sure will have some good spots in the match but is ultimately a tag team wrestler who will be going in a different direction after this match. Rusev is an established monster and needs some momentum coming off the Roman Reigns feud. His mic and in ring work continue to improve, and I'm sure he'll have a great singles run down the road. He shined big time in that scenario and in the fatal four-way match for the vacant Universal Championship. The last time Big Cass got a singles opportunity was when Enzo had an unfortunate concussion and was out for a month. Rusev's beating of Enzo in the hotel room for trying to get with his woman was an old school Attitude Era segment/beatdown and now Big Cass has to stick up for his tag team partner. Rusev's character is infinitely better with her by his side and there's a feud in waiting anytime another WWE Superstar interacts with her. It's easy to get heat anytime you have Lana involved. This is likely a one-off filler match to give these two something to do prior to entering the Royal Rumble but I've actually found this feud compelling. Let's breakdown each of the matches and see my predictions: Big Cass vs. With that, we have arrived, appropriately titled, to Roadblock: End of the Line and the final pay per view before The Royal Rumble and the official kickoff of Wrestlemania season! The buildup for the pay per view has solid and I think the Pittsburgh fans will be in for a good show.
