After the announcement, Lio Rush went on Twitter to ask WWE if it was April Fools' Day because his name wasn't on the list.

Lio tweeted, "Is this still April fools!? Face with tears of joy. No Man Of The Hour? No 25-year-old piece of gold? No Versace Doctor? No Former Cruiserweight Champion? No LIO MF RUSH!?"

After that, he tweeted, "No game......No toy..... No Cruiserweight championship tournament. @WWE y'all want to tell me something?"

Last year Lio Rush was NXT Cruiserweight Champion for 63 days. He lost the title to Angel Garza on December 11.

The eight-man round-robin tournament starts this Wednesday on NXT.
