NXT 2.0 Archives

 While the setting and characters pale in comparison to the blood-soaked streets of New York in a Martin Scorsese film, we'll let the boys continue to play make-believe a bit more as they will go one-on-one this week to see who is the top pretend mafia goofball on NXT 2.0. Santos Escobar faced Tony D'Angelo on this week's[...]

 Now all (or at least a few) eyes turn to WWE's other wrestling-Esque show on the USA Network, NXT 2.0, a show that has taken the brunt of WWE's bad creative decisions over the past year, to see if any of the stars down in Florida have been inspired by Banks and Naomi. Cameron Grimes &[...]

WWE has promised that this week's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network will be all about the ladies!  Clearly feeling safe to make such proclamations now that Ric Flair is no longer allowed in the building, the women of NXT will have the spotlight on this week's show and aside from several women's matches, we'll also[...]

Last week's NXT special event on the USA Network, NXT Spring Breakin' was a pretty confounding dud of a show, but dud or not, we will see its fallout tonight on NXT 2.0  Part of that fallout will surely involve NXT Champion Bron Breakker and his apparent kidnapping at the hands of his defeated challenger Joe Gacy last week[...]

Our recap of last night's NXT Spring Breakin' on USA, which wound up being one of the worst NXT shows of all time.

 Will this event be worth the price (free) or will it feel like a rip-off like the past several weeks of NXT 2.0?  Let's take a look.

If you're a fan who watched NXT in its black and gold glory days up until now in the rainbow-splashed unfocused nightmare that is NXT 2.0, one thing you will surely have noticed is the dramatic change in the brand's women's division  While once celebrated as the best in all of professional wrestling, the division has now[...]

That's what they believe, and it's probably the case." Meltzer continued, detailing how Kushida's run on NXT 2.0 ended unceremoniously in recent weeks "They advertised the match [against Von Wagner] and then decided that they would just beat him up instead and injure him and that they would have Ikemen Jiro do the match instead[...]

Last week's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network was main evented by a five-team Gauntlet Match for the vacated NXT Tag Team titles  While The Creed Brothers looked primed for glory after making their way through Legado del Fantasma, Briggs & Jensen, and Grayson Waller & Sanga, they were foiled in the end by the former NXT UK Tag[...]

Every title in NXT was on the line just over a week ago at Stand & Deliver, but apparently, that wasn't enough and so tonight on NXT 2.0, we're going to see a number of title matches to deal with some unsettled business  While the Tag Team titles will be on the line tonight due to former[...]

Former NXT Tag Team Champions MSK relinquished the titles this past Friday after WWE released team member Nash Carter and promised that new Champions would be crowned on this Tuesday night's NXT 2.0  Since then, fans have been left wondering which tag teams would be involved and how the brand would go about crowning the new champs, but now[...]

In a separate post, she also provided a picture of Carter dressed as Adolf Hitler and giving a Nazi salute. As evident by his appearance on this past Tuesday's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network, Carter wasn't released by WWE until Wednesday afternoon, leading fans to immediately wonder across social media what would become of[...]

Making things more complicated is Carter is one half of the tag team MSK with Wes Lee, and they are currently the NXT Tag Team Champions after winning the titles this past Saturday at NXT Stand & Deliver, and he was seen on NXT 2.0 for a segment just last night. Image: Screencap Nash Carter's release comes after this past Monday when[...]

It was a chaotic 72 hours for NXT 2.0's biggest young superstar Bron Breakker  On Saturday at NXT Stand & Deliver, he lost his NXT title match against Champion Dolph Ziggler due to Ziggler cheating  This created a rematch opportunity on Monday night on WWE Raw and when Ziggler tried the same tactics he did on Saturday, Breakker was ready[...]

 Every title in the brand was on the line and we do indeed have some new champions going into tonight's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network  One title change that didn't occur at Stand & Deliver was that of the NXT Championship, which Dolph Ziggler was able to retain after some cheating on his part[...]

In the NXT 2.0 era, the developmental brand is very rarely given "premium live event" time on Peacock  Long gone are the semi-monthly TakeOver events and in their wake, we've seen the rise of these poorly-advertised named events on free TV, which just serve as a replacement for what would have been any other episode of NXT 2.0[...]

The NXT Champion, however, intervened and said that he would take on both. With the odds stacked against the NXT Champion, can Breakker keep his promise to walk into NXT Stand & Deliver still holding the title? Will Ziggler capture one of the last titles he has yet to obtain? Can Ciampa become the second three-time[...]
