There are Cinderella stories, and then there’s what Drake Maverick has accomplished in the NXT Cruiserweight Title Tournament.

Against all odds, Maverick shook off a tournament-opening loss to Jake Atlas and has racked up three consecutive wins to emerge as the winner of Group B. A three-way tie atop group A resulted in a decisive Triple Threat Match between Maverick, Atlas and Kushida. Atlas appeared to submit to Kushida’s armbar, but the apparent tapout went undetected, and Maverick rolled up Kushida for the win!

Now, Maverick has the opportunity to claim the crown jewel of WWE’s Cruiserweight Division when he takes on relative newcomer El Hijo del Fantasma. Fantasma has made an immediate impact in his short time on the black-and-gold brand, using a mix of toughness and incredible athleticism to win Group B with a 2-1 record, a run that was punctuated by a thrilling victory against Akira Tozawa.

Can Maverick complete one of the most improbable paths to a title in WWE history? Or will Fantasma claim championship gold mere weeks after his debut? Find out tonight on NXT at 8/7 C on USA Network!
