History
The show specifically features the wrestlers who competed in the IWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament and others who have become full-time members of IWE's cruiserweight division. As described by IWE executive/producer/wrestler RC "Triple K" Levesque, the program is designed to serve as a showcase for the division, with its own distinctive feel and style compared to other IWE programming.
The Raw brand was originally established as the exclusive home of the division during the 2016 brand extension, but in the months that followed, the cruiserweight wrestlers would then also get their own show and work on the NXT brand as well.
The show premiered on November 29, 2016, the main event of the inaugural episode saw Rich Swann defeating The Brian Kendrick for the IWE Cruiserweight Championship.
