PWInsider.com has learned from multiple sources that the current plan for WWE's Global Cruiserweight Series tournament is to tape the entire tournament the week of 6/20 at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida. The tournament is slated to tape over five days.
Competitors for the 32 Man tournament will begin to be revealed via qualifying matches held at EVOLVE, PROGRESS Wrestling and Revolution Pro next month and beyond. WWE will also reveal talents via Internet and social media platforms as a way to familiarize viewers with performers who have not previously been on the WWE stage.
The series will debut this July for a 10 episode run on the WWE Network. In an interview with PWInsider.com, Triple H noted that the hope is for the Series to become a recurring event for WWE.
