WWE’s NXT brand will be holding a tournament to declare an interim NXT cruiserweight champion. This is due to the current champion Jordan Devlin being unable to participate in upcoming WWE tapings due to travel restrictions.
The promotion released the names of the 8 superstars who will participate in the tournament today. Below are the groups for the tournament:
Group A:
KUSHIDA
Jake Atlas
Tony Nese
Drake Maverick
Group B:
Isiah “Swerve” Scott
El Hijo del Fantasma
Akira Tozawa
“Gentleman” Jack Gallagher
This tournament will not be single elimination as many WWE tournaments are. Instead, WWE will be utilizing a round-robin format to declare an interim cruiserweight champion.
The eight wrestlers will be split into two groups and will each face the other wrestlers in their group once. The wrestlers with the best record in each group will then face off in the finals. The tie-breaker will be head-to-head records of the tied participants. The winner will then be declared the new interim cruiserweight champion.
