WWE is looking at the possibility of calling Hideo Itami up from NXT to bring him into the Cruiserweight division, PWInsider is reporting. Itami is billed at 182 lbs.

WWE is also reportedly interested in signing Rockstar Spud, who was released by Impact (by his request) a couple of weeks ago. Spud is billed at 5’4, 140 lbs, so would also very likely join the Cruiserweight division if signed.
