As seen on this week’s episode of NXT, Lio Rush battle Angel Garza to determine who’d get a shot at Jordan Devlin’s Cruiserweight Championship.
Both these men are former Cruiserweight Champions and were looking to get their hands back on what was once theirs. However, after a tremendous match full of high-flying offense, Lio Rush came out on top and defeated Garza.
Hence, Rush has become the new No. 1 Contender for the title and will be facing Devlin on next week’s episode of NXT. After the match, Devlin came out with his title and exchanged a few words with his upcoming challenger.
"It looks like YOU are the next stop on the @Jordan_Devlin1 Cruiserweight Championship Tour."

Garza, on the other hand, is enjoying some main roster success in the past two weeks and that might continue at least for the immediate future.
