NXT General Manager William Regal appeared on The Bump this morning to announce a tournament will soon commence to crown a new NXT Cruiserweight Champion.
Current titleholder Jordan Devlin is unable to make it to the states due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, so it appears WWE is moving forward with crowning a new “interim” champion.
As I just announced on @WWETheBump, we will soon begin a tournament to crown an interim NXT Cruiserweight Champion as the current champion, @Jordan_Devlin1 is unable to compete due to the situation in the world.
I will update everyone once all the details are ironed out.

As Regal mentioned in the tweet above, there’s no word yet on how many participants will be involved or if the tournament will happen on both NXT and 205 Live.
