NXT 2.0 Archives

 There's just one problem with that: NXT veteran Tommaso Ciampa is still the top-dog on NXT 2.0 and is still NXT Champion  But that might not last long if hard-charging rookie phenom Bron Breakker has his way.

Hey gang!  Last week's episode of NXT 2.0 was a transition of sorts  We were only two nights removed from NXT WarGames and there were seeds planted for this week's show and some new feuds going forward and it looks like we saw the last of both Kyle O'Reilly and Johnny Gargano in NXT[...]

 The classic "black and gold" era of NXT is done and the NXT 2.0 era is full-steam ahead, especially after the results of the men's WarGames match  But part of that transition will include the departure of some beloved figures of the previous ers, namely Kyle O'Reilly and Johnny Gargano, both of whom their contract with WWE is up[...]

Hey gang!  We are only two days removed from NXT WarGames this past Sunday and after such an explosive event that solidified the NXT 2.0 generation as the new power in NXT, we can imagine that there will be quite a bit of fallout tonight on the USA Network  Will Bron Breakker again challenge Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT[...]

 But with it now being the NXT 2.0 era and this not being an old-fashioned NXT TakeOver event, could this live up to the year-stealing Pay Per View events of NXT-past?  Well, let's take a look at NXT WarGames to find out!

  Hey gang!  So this week's episode of NXT 2.0 is all about NXT WarGames this Sunday and with that in mind, we have not one, but two Ladder Matches on this episode with the advantage in each of the two WarGames matches at the event on the line  In addition to those matches, we will also find[...]

Hey gang!  Tonight's NXT 2.0 episode is the last stop on the road to NXT WarGames this Sunday and there's some official business that needs to be settled before that big event  Tonight we will see two different Ladder Matches, with each deciding the team with the advantage going into their respective WarGames match this Sunday[...]

 And now to make things more interesting, we will be seeing two ladder matches tomorrow night on NXT 2.0, determining which teams will have the advantage in their respective WarGames match  And to make things even more exciting and interactive, WWE is letting fans vote on who they want in one of the ladder matches tomorrow[...]

 Let's see if we can answer some of this tonight on NXT 2.o. The official logo for NXT 2.0, courtesy of WWE. We start things off actually interestingly, as during the WWE company intro, Grayson Waller interrupts it and demands they cut from the classic superstars to him in the ring, which they do[...]

 Garland has been a trainer and producer for the NXT brand since September of 2016, and judging by his statement online following his release, it sounds as if the recent changes in the NXT 2.0 era of the brand are what lead to his departure. NXT trainer and producer Scott Garland, seen here in his days[...]

Hey gang!  So this week's episode of NXT 2.0 actually looks pretty loaded with some decent attention-grabbing matches, which is a nice change from only announcing one or two matches in advance, as WWE has done quite frequently as of late  The big main event match is of course the Triple Threat Match, where NXT North[...]

The remaining members of the former NXT and current SmackDown faction Hit Row were released by WWE last night and we ask why?

Hey gang!  So last week on NXT 2.0, we got the exciting announcement that the beloved WarGames match would be returning to NXT in the form of a Peacock-exclusive event (modern talk for pay per view) on Sunday, December 5  We can assume that like the last WarGames event two years ago, there will be both[...]

Hey gang!  One of the longer stories in NXT that has transitioned from the old black and gold era to the NXT 2.0 era we find ourselves in now is the one of Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai, the former best friends and tag team partners whose relationship has tuned a complete 180 degrees and we now see[...]

If you watched last night's episode of NXT 2.0, you will have seen the exciting announcement teaser for the brand's upcoming event, NXT WarGames  This of course will include the return of the iconic War Games match, an anything-goes match with two side-by-side rings inside a steel cage where multi-wrestler teams will battle it out as they[...]

Hey gang!  So far, the NXT 2.0 era has produced inconsistent results  One week we'll get some pretty solid matches and a look at a promising up-and-coming talent, only to follow that up the next week with an episode filled with silly comedy and a very little amount of wrestling  I'm a firm believer that any wrestling[...]

Hey gang!  Last week's episode of NXT 2.0 was hot garbage, full stop  It was full of bad comedy, silly skits, way too many backstage or video segments, and worst of all, very little actual wrestling  NXT is supposed to be a developmental showcase where young "not ready for primetime" talents hone their skills and get[...]

Among the WWE stars released yesterday, the vast majority were current or former NXT stars. We look at why and what it says about WWE now?

 While he is currently internally listed as the number two babyface for NXT (behind NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa), it is easy to see why they could let O'Reilly go for a couple of reasons. It's no secret that WWE has been shedding talent across all of its brands all year (including two of Kyle O'Reilly's former stablemates,[...]

If you watched NXT 2.0 last night on the USA Network, you will remember that in the opening segment we witnessed Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin of Toxic Attraction assault and seemingly injure the leg of former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Zoey Stark in a backstage segment  It was a quick moment, but an impactful one as it[...]

Hey gang!  So last Tuesday night was no normal episode of NXT 2.0 and was instead a special event in Halloween Havoc  That event was impactful, to say the least, as three different titles changed hands, thus changing up the power structure in NXT  How will that new landscape look going forward?  We will find out as[...]

Hey gang!  After this past Tuesday's successful NXT Halloween Havoc and all the drama that ensued at the event, it's time to get back to our regular programming with NXT 2.0 tonight as we see all the fallout of the titles changes, career-threatening matches, and betrayals that occurred one week ago tonight. NXT North American Champion Carmello Hayes[...]

 And it will be a pretty big show tonight, with nearly every title on the line and the show really having the potential to shape NXT 2.0 going forward in a way we haven't seen yet in the new era of the developmental brand  Enough out of me, let's get to the scary (hopefully scary good)[...]

Hey gang!  After weeks of teasing and establishing, we are here at the first special event of the NXT 2.0 era, Halloween Havoc With the return of the classic spooky October event comes some big title matches that could change NXT going forward  Nearly every NXT title will be on the line tonight and if that weren't[...]

 The big matches all appear ready to roll, but there's always room for more, right?  We will find out tonight on NXT 2.0! The official logo for NXT 2.0, courtesy of WWE. We kick things off with the new NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes, who hits the ring with Trick Williams[...]

 This will be the fictional character's (and I can't stress this enough, FICTIONAL) second WWE appearance recently, as he appeared on a sort of tie-in commercial during Raw last week. The countdown begins… @ChuckyIsReal will be a special guest on #WWENXT 2.0's Halloween Havoc next week! Better get those last-second costume fixes in[...]

With a Triple Threat Match for the Women's Tag Team Titles looming at Halloween Havoc, the stakes have just risen as one member of each duo will battle for the right to Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal. But only one Superstar can test their fortune, so who will earn that right? Tune in Tuesday night on[...]

Have you noticed an uptick in the, shall we say, "more adult" content on recent WWE shows airing on the USA Network?  More colorful language?  More sadistic behavior from heels?  No, you're not imagining things, as WWE Chairman Vince McMahon himself is keen on bringing his product back to something more in line with its "Attitude[...]

 Enough out of me, let's get to tonight's NXT 2.0! The official logo for NXT 2.0, courtesy of WWE. We open with a pretty shocking event, as Santos Escobar and Legado del Fantasma jump Swerve, B-Fab, and Top Dolla as they enter the building earlier in the day and drag B-Fab and Top Dolla into a car and speed off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjR-84l-swVideo can't[...]

 Tonight, they will do battle for that title one more time, as while Swerve wants to roll into SmackDown next week still holding NXT gold, Escobar wants to keep the North American title at home where it belongs, specifically draped across his waist. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott will defend his NXT North American title against Santos Escobar tonight[...]
