El Hijo del Fantasma has become the interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship, following a win over Drake Maverick tonight on NXT television.
Jordan Devlin was unable to defend the NXT Cruiserweight title due to the travel ban, and remains in the United Kingdom.
Following the match, Triple H came out and offered Drake Maverick a new WWE contract, specifically for the NXT brand.
