Maverick, who worked as Rockstar Spud prior to his WWE run, announced that there will be a 16-man tournament to crown the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. The tournament final will be held at WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Maverick is a great talker and a fun choice for the GM position. Allow me to fantasy book and\/or daydream for a second, but with Maverick being a native Englishman, it would be really fun if his character ended up leading a UK Division takeover of the show. John Moore&#8217;s full review of 205 Live will be available on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>NEW:<\/b> Help support Prowrestling.net when you shop Amazon by starting your online Amazon shopping at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/prowrestling.net\/amazon\">Prowrestling.net\/amazon<\/a>.
