As seen tonight on WWE 205 Live, Daniel Bryan announced new General Manager, Drake Maverick, formerly known in Impact Wrestling as Rockstar Spud.
Maverick said that his first order of business is to crown a new WWE CruiserWeight champion, which they are going to do in the form of a 16 man single elimination tournament, which will culminate at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
This is reminiscent of the wildly successful CruiserWeight Classic, which was really the launching pad for 205 Live, and could reinvigorate the divison.
Maverick announced two first round matches tonight that are to take place during the show.
