As noted, former Impact Wrestling X Division Champion Rockstar Spud is scheduled to debut with WWE at next week’s RAW in Providence, RI.
Spud is expected to immediately start in WWE’s cruiserweight division. After he signed a contract with the WWE in October, the company was waiting on his working visa to come through so he can get started.
Dave Meltzer revealed that officials at Impact weren’t happy with Spud’s signing. Meltzer wrote that some people at Impact were upset because they had spent a significant amount of money to assist Spud with getting his visa taken care of before he quit to accept the WWE offer.
Spud is expected to be getting a prominent spot on 205 Live alongside the imminently debuting Hideo Itami and current cruiserweight champion Enzo Amore. With the impending non-televised live events for the cruiserweights, Spud will be a welcome addition to division.
