We've known for a while now that WWE is attempting to change the way 205 Live Superstars are perceived and that's included Triple H taking over the brand from Vince McMahon. Since then, we've seen nothing of the Cruiserweight division on RAW, an odd decision considering the fact the show is such a good place to market them. They're not even mentioned on SmackDown Live on a Tuesday now!

So, is that about to change and why aren't they on RAW these days? Well, PWInsider claims it's all still down to WWE attempting to salvage 205 Live and change the perception of the division. 

Apparently, WWE doesn't want the talent to be too overexposed and keeping them off RAW protects them as Triple H can control booking decisions and storylines. Whether or not this will change remains to be seen but cancelling 205 Live would be an embarrassment and WWE signed a lot of talented Superstars to the brand so you can see why they're now doing their best to basically reboot it.
