Rockstar Spud, who is now known as "Drake Maverick," made his WWE debut on 205 Live tonight and was named general manager of the show.

Daniel Bryan came out with Spud to open tonight's episode. Spud got a solid reaction, and Bryan called him someone who is going to usher in a new era for 205 Live. Bryan said Spud's leadership will give the audience the kind of action that everyone wants and that the cruiserweights always should have given them.

Spud said he's worked his entire life to be in WWE. He then announced a 16-man single-elimination tournament to crown a new Cruiserweight Champion, with the finals scheduled to take place at WrestleMania.

The tournament kicked off tonight with Cedric Alexander defeating Gran Metalik and TJP advancing over Tyler Bate. Hideo Itami vs. Roderick Strong and Kalisto vs. Lince Dorado are set for next week.

After departing Impact Wrestling, Spud signed with WWE towards the end of last year. His arrival on 205 Live had been considered imminent for several weeks.

He was very good. And they did at least acknowledge he was previously called Rockstar Spud. He was himself and came across well... however he did not get a "Solid Reaction", certainly not from what I could hear. It was actually quite underwhelming. However, I am interested to see how this goes.

Borash, ECIII and Spud all hired. WWE Picking TNA while it slowly dies.

It won't be long until Lashley and Lax even lol

Roderick Strong, 205Live? Fuck This Company

you mean picking up all the people that had nothing left to to in Impact. Also, you guys do realize that NXT is picking up a really particular stable from Impact, right?

Dude... RODDY VS. KENTA.

But I get what you're saying. Also, I'm skeptical that Roddy is under the weight limit.

there's a bunch from NOAH and ROH already!

205 is actually kinda high for a weight limit. I'm 6'0 and I barely make it over, and I assure you, i'm not fit. I think Roddy is booked at 200, but then again, Balor is at 190.

Dixie Carter is next lol.

Ssssssh, don’t you give them that idea.

Idk, I'm bigger than Balor and probably still under 205 , maybe. Weight and size are weird lol.

Bate's also on there now, is everyone just going for the cruiserweight now or UK soon ?

Bate had already debuted there...losing to Enzo

Yeah wtf is all of this , an exodus of dudes that suddenly end up in one place... I guess it helps for depth and variety but it just feels strange.
