WWE Title Change: T.J. Perkins Wins Cruiserweight Championship and Cruiserweight Classic Tournament Finals

Posted by Anthony Mango Wednesday, September 14, 2016

The finals of the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic tournament crowned not only who would win the trophy and the medals, but the WWE Cruiserweight Championship as well. On September 14, 2016, T.J. Perkins defeated Gran Metalik in the finals to win the tournament and the title.

My immediate reaction: Goddamn this was a fun tournament, and I'm SO happy that Perkins ended up winning the whole thing. There are a few other guys I would have been okay with being crowned the champion (Cedric Alexander, Brian Kendrick, Kota Ibushi, etc) but Perkins very quickly became one of my favorites. Awesome.
