This was in the official preview for 205 Live tonight (which features Josh Briggs vs Joe Gacy):
"The purple brand will now occasionally play host to matches where one or multiple Superstars eclipse the 205-pound weight limit, setting the stage for a colossal main event between Gacy and Briggs!"
So it's basically just Velocity now.

Inevitable…it’s become Main Event with lesser-known superstars.

I'm more humored that this is basically a main event to an Evolve show.

It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits!

Don't worry guys, there's nothing to those NXT rumors, nothing to see here...
Though really having a Cruiserweight-only show / division in this day and age was always a stupid idea to begin with. If you wanted something like that it should have been something in the vain of the X Division title's peak where it was largely a smaller / faster guy belt but occasionally bigger people did go for it and was more marketed as a workhorse title.

I like the idea of expanding the wrestlers on the show. As long as 205 Live remains on the air & will remain as the best half hour of wrestling on TV, then I'm happy.

No one watched it anyway, so who cares who is on it?
May as well try and use other people if you have to produce it.

Well, basically, but keep in mind it originally started out as a belt exclusively tied to Raw. There might have been something to the idea of it if they'd gone with having it as kind of a, "Here's the tear the house down match of the night," gimmick instead of the whole cover the ropes in purple tape and trot out a bunch of tiny guys you've never heard of thing they actually did.

People that say that are the reason why everyone is getting released. If people actually watched the show and saw how talented these men are , then maybe WWE will see that and keep these people on their roster.

Every cruiserweight champ since 205 Live launched
TJP -- Fired The Brian Kendrick -- Retired Rich Swann -- Fired Neville -- Quit Akira Tozawa -- Been doing a racist ninja gimmick for ages Enzo Amore -- Fired Kalisto -- Fired Cedric Alexander -- Still waiting to get his win back over AJ, any day now Buddy Murphy -- Fired Tony Nese -- Fired Drew Gulak -- Apparently still employed? Last TV appearance was in June Lio Rush -- Retired Angel Garza -- Banished to Main Event after Zelina got fired Jordan Devlin Santos Escobar KUSHIDA -- Forever cursed to be a junior
Hornswoggle being the last cruiserweight champion was probably more dignified than this list

Said it back when they came up with the idea, a strictly defined weight division was not gonna work, like, at all. Prime example of the company being behind the times and not reading the room. Half your roster works like the guys in this division, lmao. But because they are small, they get relegated to the C-show. Sure. Way to take the fun out of modern wrestling by sectioning off a portion of your roster
WWE's really getting dusted by every other major outfit in the game rn in terms of presentation and it's not even close. They're literally stuck in 2002.
