Triple Threat Match, Oney Lorcan Return Set For 2/7 WWE 205 Live
Newly-crowned NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin is continuing his tour across multiple WWE shows tonight on 205 Live.
WWE announced that Devlin will head to 205 Live later tonight and face off against former champions Lio Rush and Tony Nese in a triple threat match.
Devlin won the NXT Cruiserweight title back at the Worlds Collide show on January 25 when he won a fatal four-way match. Since then, Devlin went to NXT, appearing on the February 5 episode and defeating Tyler Breeze in a non-title match.
Following the news last week that The Irish Ace would be making his way to the home of the Cruiserweight division, the WWE Universe has been ripe with anticipation about what kind of statement the champion would make. Tweeting earlier today, he wanted to know which Cruiserweight needed to be made an example of. Lio Rush responded by asserting that he was more than willing to welcome Devlin to WWE 205 Live. However, WWE 205 Live original Tony Nese chimed in and claimed that the honor should be his. As a result, all three Superstars will collide in a Triple Threat Match.
Can Devlin set the tone for his championship reign, or will he realize that the competition is fiercer than he anticipated in the Cruiserweight division?
Also announced for tonight’s episode of NXT is the return of Oney Lorcan as he will team up with Danny Burch to take on Ariya Daivari and The Brian Kendrick.
Fightful will have live coverage of 205 Live, taking place right after SmackDown goes off the air.
