NXT UK superstar Jordan Devlin took to Twitter earlier today to respond to General Manager William Regal’s announcement of a new tournament to crown an interim cruiserweight champion. Devlin, who won the title back at the Worlds Collide pay per view, is currently trapped in Ireland and unable to travel due to the travel restrictions put in place from COVID-19.
The Irish Ace calls the decision made by WWE disrespectful, and promises to retake the throne that he never lost.
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.
You can read the original report here. Check out Devlin’s tweet below.
