The first seven competitors in the upcoming WWE Global Cruiserweight Series on the WWE Network were revealed by Triple H during a conference call with the media.

From the United Kingdom there’s 28 year old Zack Sabre Jr, from Israel there’s 22 year old Naom Dar, from Hong Kong there’s Ho Ho Lun, and from Japan there’s 30 year old Akira Tozawa.
