We just upped the ante a little bit with WarGames and made it evolve." WWE fans have seen a number of WarGames matches over the past few years down in NXT, but this will mark the iconic match's debut for the main roster  It has been reported often over the years that Triple H would push hard[...]

Last night marked one full year since WWE's NXT developmental brand big farewell to the familiar black and gold color scheme, and with it, a reliable spot for quality wrestling and instead welcomed in the NXT 2.0 relaunch, complete with a loud rainbow-splattered look and a focus on silly gimmicks and lousy comedy  Well, just one[...]

Tonight marks the first anniversary of the rainbow-colored NXT 2.o era for the brand, and uh, it certainly has been a year  While most fans would agree that the overall quality of the show and the brand around it has dropped considerably as they've traded serious storytelling and high work rate for gimmicks and obnoxious comedy[...]

In what was a very, VERY busy and even infamous weekend across the wrestling landscape, little old NXT ended up holding their own with a very entertaining and strong show Sunday on Peacock  NXT: Worlds Collide gave us solid matches top to bottom and indeed collided the worlds of NXT 2.0 and the now extinct NXT UK, leaving[...]

This Sunday night's NXT Worlds Collide event on Peacock was built on the promise of the NXT UK brand facing the stars of NXT 2.0, in some cases unifying the corresponding titles from the two brands  But something we weren't anticipating was that the stars of Raw and SmackDown would get involved with the event and as it turns out[...]

Worlds are set to collide both literally and titularly this Sunday night on Peacock when NXT Worlds Collide gets underway and the rosters of NXT UK and NXT 2.0 do battle for NXT supremacy  This year's event is especially interesting as it will serve as a swan song of sorts for the NXT UK brand, which will be restructured into NXT Europe[...]

Young superstar Austin Theory had made quite a name for himself on the indies and in NXT, so much so that former WWE Head Honcho Vince McMahon took a personal liking to him and wanted to give him the rub (no, not the kind of rub that got Vince bounced from WWE) by appearing as his on-screen mentor[...]

We certainly seem to be on the verge of a reimagining of the NXT UK brand  Between the announcement of a 2023 evolution into NXT Europe and the debut of numerous NXT UK stars on NXT 2.0 over the past couple of months, it would appear that Triple H and his team are high on bringing these stars to the United[...]

Many wrestlers from the black & gold era of NXT that survived the transition over to the rainbow-splattered era of NXT 2.0 have found themselves in either an entirely new position or as an entirely new character  One talent who has survived the brand's evolution and come out of the other side relatively unscathed, if not even[...]

 These are all intriguing developments as Triple H continues to remold the WWE empire in his vision, but one show where the difference hasn't quite been as evident yet is in The Game's former brainchild, NXT 2.0  Could that change tonight now that we're starting to see a footing take hold on the other big two[...]

When Triple H effectively took over running all of TV for WWE a couple of weeks ago following the sudden retirement of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, one of the top hopes among fans (especially fans of Triple H's era of NXT) was that he would bring back certain stars who were mishandled and ultimately released during McMahon's tenure[...]

While the fate of the main roster's WWE Women's Tag Team titles remains in a state of flux, if not outright doom, down at NXT it appeared their version of the titles would suffer a similar fate when Cora Jade, half of the Champions with Roxanne Perez, turned on her partner and followed that up by dumping her[...]

 With Triple H now the chief mastermind behind all of WWE, what does this mean for his initial creation, NXT?  Will the rainbow-splashed neon nightmare begin to wash away to reveal the original black and gold underneath?  Will the asinine characters, goofy gimmicks, and silly backstage skits wash away with it to go back to a[...]

Mandy Rose has held the NXT Women's Championship for over 250 days, putting her in some elite company with other women who've held Championships in WWE  But the work of a Champion is never done, as they must constantly be challenged (unless you're Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar and have it in your contract that you can disappear with[...]

Everything looked set and ready last week on NXT 2.0 for Roxanne Perez to become the first woman in nearly a year to finally defeat Mandy Rose for the NXT Women's Championship  That is until Perez was betrayed by her best friend Cora Jade, who just so happens to be the co-holder of the NXT Women's Tag Team titles with her[...]

To quote Caddyshack's Carl Spackler, young NXT 2.0 star Roxanne Perez has been on a real Cinderella story of a run since her debut in the brand only a short time ago  In her small sample size, she has impressed everyone by winning the inaugural NXT Women's Breakout Tournament and followed that up by winning the NXT Women's Tag[...]

Former indies star Roxanne Perez has hit the ground running since debuting in NXT 2.0 only a short time ago  So far, she has won the inaugural NXT Women's Breakout Tournament and along with her friend Cora Jade, won the NXT Women's Tag Team titles  Now tonight, she's looking to climb the tallest mountain in NXT when she will cash in[...]

In the NXT 2.0 era, the brand doesn't get too many "Premium Live Events" on Peacock or the WWE Network With the NXT TakeOver days seemingly long behind us, now we have these regular weekly episodes on steroids with a special throwback name and everything  That brings us to last night's NXT Great American Bash on the[...]

Hopefully, you didn't get sick of fireworks last night, because WWE and the NXT brand have some more in store for fans tonight on the USA Network  The brand will hold its annual Summer event, the WCW throwback NXT Great American Bash, where we'll see all of their titles on the line in some intriguing match-ups that[...]

 And then there was last night's episode of NXT 2.0. NXT Champion Bron Breakker found out how dangerous Cameron Grimes can be on last night's NXT 2.0, courtesy of WWE. First, let's cover some of the action that went down on last night's NXT 2.0 on the USA Network. Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez defeated Kayden Carter & Katana Chance to become the Number[...]

The youthful duo of Cora Jade and her buddy, the inaugural NXT Women's Breakout Tournament Champion Roxanne Perez, have proven to be a pretty legit team in the NXT 2.0 Women's Tag Team Division as of late  They decided to make it official last week when they demanded a shot at Toxic Attraction's titles, but they were instead cut off[...]

After a kind of lackluster show last week, NXT 2.0 looks to bounce back this week with a pretty full card of matches, including Tony D'Angelo challenging Carmelo Hayes for the NXT North American title  Was he successful in the pursuit of his first title in the brand?  Let's take a look. Was Carmelo Hayes able to hold off[...]

Tony D'Angelo has made quite the impression in a short time in NXT  Along with facing and defeating some of the best in the brand, he also established himself as "The Don" of NXT 2.0 by defeating Santos Escobar and Legado del Fantasma, leading to his absorbing them into his "family"[...]

The Creed Brothers had their first NXT Tag Team Title defense and Bron Breakker seems to have found his next challenger for the NXT Championship  Let's see what else went down on this week's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network! Were The Creed Brothers successful in their first title defense? Courtesy of WWE. The Creed Brothers vs Edris Enofé &[...]

After finally winning the NXT Tag Team Titles at NXT In Your House last weekend, The Creed Brothers rightfully felt on top of the world  They even received encouragement from their Diamond Mine leader Roderick Strong, who's been very tough on them as of late, and felt as though they had finally earned his respect[...]

NXT Champion Bron Breakker defeated Joe Gacy again for the title at this past Saturday night's NXT In Your House Premium Live Event on Peacock  Now with Gacy (hopefully) in his past, the Champ will have to look forward to his next challenger  Did that man present himself on this week's NXT 2.0 on the USA Network?  Let's take[...]

This past Saturday night saw NXT hold a Premium Live Event on Peacock in the form of NXT In Your House and with that in the rearview mirror now, tonight on NXT 2.0 on the USA Network, we'll get our first taste of where the brand and its Champions are heading next  While NXT Champion Bron Breakker and NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose were[...]

In the NXT 2.0 era, it appears opportunities for the brand to get its own Premium Live Event on Peacock are few and far between  Well, tonight is one of those opportunities and we're getting NXT In Your House tonight at 8 pm on Peacock  Will the brand put on an attention-grabbing show that we became accustomed[...]

Hey so remember in my preview how I said we'd see the winner of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament crowned on this week's show because that's what WWE was advertising?  Well, surprise!  That ain't happening!  Right at showtime, WWE announced that the final match of the tournament would now be happening next week[...]

Over the past few weeks, NXT 2.0 has featured matches from the inaugural NXT Women's Breakout Tournament where the brand's best up and coming women have competed to be crowned the first-ever tournament Champion and earn a title shot of their choice out of the whopping two titles on the brand that they can choose between[...]
