Lio Rush faced off against Angel Garza tonight on NXT for the right to challenge Jordan Devlin for the Cruiserweight Championship, and while the Mexican Superstar did dominate most of the bout, The M.O.T.H. emerged victorious.

Garza started out strong, hitting several big moved on his opponent until Lio mounted a comeback with an incredible Final Hour frog splash from the top rope to the outside. Rush then went for another splash in the ring to put Garza away, but it was reversed into a Wing Clipper attempt, which Lio countered into a rollup pin for the three-count.

Devlin then met Rush at the top of the ramp, telling his first challenger that he doesn't fancy his changes when they collide next week.
