Earlier today, WWE had NXT General Manager William Regal announce that the company will be holding a tournament soon to crown an Interim NXT Cruiserweight Champion.
The reason for that is due to current champion Jordan Devlin being stuck in the UK and unable to defend his title on NXT TV. There’s no word yet on when the tournament will take place.
Devlin took to Twitter after the announcement where he wrote the following:
“First things first, absolutely shocking and disrespectful decision by @WWE management. Secondly, you can crown a fraud champion and give him a little replica of my title, but everyone around the world knows who the REAL NXT Cruiserweight Champion still is.”
