Jordan Devlin was an NXT UK original, appearing on the brand as early as the fourth episode of the show. Despite not ever winning a title on that brand, Devlin did hold the NXT Cruiserweight Title in the early months of 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic. After not defending the title for nearly a year, Devlin met interim Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar in a unification ladder match at NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver in April 2021.
Last month he lost a loser leaves NXT UK match to Ilja Dragunov.
