How to watch the WWE Cruiserweight Classic first round, Night 1 online
There are clearly many changes coming to WWE currently with the WWE Draft, Smackdown going live, and so on and so forth. Hell, we don’t even fully know what the brand split is going to look like or even what it will mean for NXT going forward. However, one thing that WWE is hosting that we do know is going to be great is the Cruiserweight Classic and the first round begins on Wednesday night, July 13.

Showcasing many of the best crusierweights in the world from various promotions, age-groups, and even experience levels, the WWE Cruiserweight Classic promises to be an absolutely epic affair on Wednesday night. The field begins with 32 competitors and will wear on over the next few months with matches over the course of three tapings as Full Sail Live (the same venue where NXT is normally taped) before a live finale will air in September.
For Night 1 in the first round of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, they aren’t holding any punches as one of the biggest names and best wrestlers in the tournament, Kota Ibushi, will be taking the ring for his Round 1 match. The Japanese star’s Cruiserweight Classic run begins with a match against Sean Maluta of American Samoa.
Ibushi isn’t the only talented guy or even recognizable name in the tournament as some of the biggest stars in independent wrestling and even some other promotions will be involved. Though there’s no clear favorite, Ibushi would have to be up there without question, however. We’ll see if he gets off to the right start on Wednesday night.
