El Hijo del Fantasma (aka the former King Cuerno in Lucha Underground) captured the WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship tonight, defeating Drake Maverick. Initially announced as a tournament for the interim champion as Jordan Devlin has been unable to travel to the United States due the ongoing pandemic, that designation was dropped in recent weeks.
After the match, Drake Maverick, who had been among the releases announced in April as part of the WWE cost-cutting, was greeted by Triple H and given a new WWE contract, so he will be remaining with the company as part of NXT going forward:
#WWENXT is the land of opportunity.
