5. WWE Announces Alternates For WWE Cruiserweight Classic
WWE has announced the following wrestlers as alternates for the WWE Cruiserweight Classic (in case a wrestle is unable to make the weight of 205 lbs in the coming rounds):
– Aaron Solow (Height: 5’11, Weight: 182 lbs)
– Jesus Yurnet (Height: 5’8, Weight: 182 lbs)
– Jessy Sorensen (Height: 5’9, Weight: 184 lbs)
– Vandal Ortagun (Height: 5’9, Weight: 155 lbs)
– Kai Katana (Height: 5’9, Weight: 197 lbs)
It should be noted that Jessy Sorenson is a former TNA wrestler who suffered a serious neck injury during his career. Below is what he said about this opportunity:
“There was a time in my career where I didn’t think I would ever get to wrestle again. I had a pretty serious neck injury, so to be considered is an honor. I’ve been taking in the experience, but being an alternate just motivates me to be the guy who’s called up next and gets to be in the tournament next time. Still, it’s an honor to be an alternate. There are millions of people who want this opportunity, and I’m one of the people who got it.”
