On last night's episode of NXT, WWE announced a Cruiserweight Championship match which will see Lio Rush square off with Drew Gulak. However, one key change has been made to the title and that's its name! 

As you can see below, it is now being referred to as the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. WWE.com is also using that name so this isn't a mistake and will clearly be the new status quo for the title. While 205 Live has been announced as happening after Friday Night SmackDown on the WWE Network, that probably won't last. 

Instead, WWE is more than likely trying to save face and would rather not cancel on of its shows in a week packed full of premieres! 

KUSHIDA vs. NXT UK Champion WALTER has also been announced for next week's NXT on the USA Network and with Finn Balor returning to the brand, it's clearly going to be well worth watching. For now, check out the name change below:
