According to PWInsider.com the current plan for the WWE’s Global Cruiserweight Series tournament is to tape the entire tournament the week of 6/20 at Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida. It is currently slated to tape in over 5 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.

It looks like popular NXT brand will be hitting the road again in May. Triple H announced on his twitter that the brand will be touring in May, with 6 different shows in the lower Midwest and West coast. While fans in Florida have had plenty of chances to see NXT shows, this is a rare chance for the rest of the country to see the popular brand live.
