WWE needed to strip the NXT Cruiserweight Title from Jordan Devlin. He couldn’t make the flight back to Orlando due to current world events. That means a new interim champion must be crowned.

The company revealed that a round robin tournament will begin soon. This is not typical for WWE, but this isn’t an ordinary situation at all.

WWE has now revealed the first block of competitors in the NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.

Group A will consist of Kushida, Drake Maverick, Tony Nese, and Jake Atlas. More competitors will be announced eventually.
