Devlin won the NXT Cruiserweight Championship at Worlds Collide 2020, but was stuck overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic and unable to defend the title in the US. He made multiple defenses of the belt on NXT UK. A tournament was held to crown a new NXT Cruiserweight Champion in May 2020, which was won by Escobar.
