WWE NXT General Manager William Regal made an appearance on today’s episode of the WWE The Bump digital show to announce that as a result of ongoing matters with the global Coronavirus pandemic, the company will be holding a tournament to crown the Interim WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion as current WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin is in Ireland and therefore is unable to make it to the United States to defend his title.

Regal announced that those involved in the tournament and when the tournament will begin will be announced in due course.

Regal also revealed that the company will assess where things stand with the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships in the coming weeks as Pete Dunne remains in the United Kingdom.
