NXT Archives

NXT's WrestleMania weekend show, NXT Stand & Deliver, is only two weeks away from this Saturday  And as the brand's biggest show of the year rapidly approaches, the picture of how the card will look becomes more and more clear  That brings us to tonight's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network, where we'll not only hear[...]

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[...]

Dolph Ziggler and Tommaso Ciampa have been battling it out for weeks over who will get to challenge Bron Breakker for the NXT title next  The Champ finally had enough last week and declared he would take them both on at the same time in a Triple Threat Match, which brings us to tonight, live on the[...]

We have seven announced matches for this week's episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network, including a big tag team grudge match, two tournament tag matches, and a North American title match  That's a pretty hefty card and seeing as NXT often has time management issues, it'll be interesting to see how they pull[...]

The war between Tommaso Ciampa, Dolph Ziggler, and NXT Champion Bron Breakker came to a head last week on NXT 2.0 when during a battle to determine the number one contender to face Breakker for the title, Ziggler's partner Robert Roode made a shocking appearance and cost Ciampa the match  The show ended in a brawl between the four[...]

Since first appearing on NXT 2.0 several weeks ago, Raw star Dolph Ziggler has made his objective clear: winning the NXT title  The problem with that is NXT's resident veteran Tommaso Ciampa has made it his mission to keep outsiders out of the brand and certainly away from their titles  So that brings us to tonight, where after weeks[...]

The NXT brand has always found itself in a weird place where it both served as a developmental territory to ultimately serve its best talents to the main WWE rosters or Raw and SmackDown, while at the same time, trying to make itself appear as a viable brand with its own appeal and pull for a weekly audience[...]

It's back to business as usual tonight on NXT 2.0 after last Tuesday night's NXT Vengeance Day special event on SYFY  Tonight, the show heads back to their regular home on the USA Network as they, along with every other WWE brand, begin the march towards their special WrestleMania week events at the beginning of April[...]

NXT Champion Bron Breakker has taken on all challengers in his young career and thus far has defeated them all, but never as Champion  This will now change as Santos Escobar will take on the young powerhouse in his first title defense  Will he remain the most dominant force in NXT?  Or will the numbers and tactics[...]

 The NXT stable, consisting of Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Top Dolla, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, and B-Fab, was a breakout act in the developmental brand and when they were surprisingly all drafted as a package to SmackDown this past October, it seemed the sky was the limit for the young stars[...]

Tonight on SYFY, WWE NXT 2.0 will hold another of their not quite Pay Per View special events on free TV, tonight's being NXT Vengeance Day  And even though it's on free TV, the card is actually pretty stacked with three major title matches and the finals of the Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament[...]

Last week we saw Kay Lee Ray dismantle Toxic Attraction one by one until she was left with just NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose in her crosshairs  She then proceeded to torture and humiliate Rose until the Champion relented and agreed to a title match with Ray  That brings us to this week, where Ray will finally[...]

The NXT 2.0 era has been synonymous with the rise and success of Toxic Attraction  Led by former main roster star Mandy Rose, the trio has captured the NXT Women's Tag Team titles for Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, while Rose has had a firm grip on the NXT Women's Championship for months now[...]

 Well, the 90 days are up and the former WWE and NXT superstar is now officially ready and able to resume her wrestling career. The former Ember Moon will make her wrestling return as Athena for Warrior Wrestling against AEW's Thunder Rosa, courtesy of Warrior Wrestling. Returning to her pre-WWE ring name of Athena, the former Ember Moon[...]

On November 4 of last year, WWE released 18 of their wrestlers for "budget cuts" and former NXT Champion Keith Lee was easily one of the most shocking names to read on a list that included Karrion Kross, Nia Jax, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Mia Yim, Eva Marie, Harry Smith, B-Fab, Franky Monet, Ember Moon, Scarlett, Oney Lorcan,[...]

Last week's NXT 2.0 furthered the tension between NXT Champion Bron Breakker and Legado del Fantasma, whose leader, Santos Escobar made it very clear that he doesn't respect Breakker as a Champion  Escobar said he thinks Breakker was handed everything, while he is the truly deserving Champion  But when Breakker offered to put the title on the line[...]

On last Tuesday night's NXT 2.0, we witnessed two huge tag team matches get put together for tonight's show  First, we saw the escalation of the war between Diamond Mine and Imperium over who's the NXT brand's true wrestling powerhouse faction, especially after GUNTHER (the artist formerly known as WALTER) defeated Roderick Strong in an intense one-on-one battle the[...]

WWE announced this week via The Dallas Morning News their WrestleMania week schedule, which includes the return of NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday, April 2  If you're familiar with the dates of this year's WrestleMania in Dallas, then you will notice that April 2 is also scheduled to be the opening night of "the showcase of the immortals"[...]

WWE announced this week that one of the NXT TakeOver events from the former "black and gold era" of the brand is returning in under a month  NXT Vengeance Day (no more TakeOver, as that has recently joined Pay Per View on Vince McMahon's ever-growing list of banned terms) will return on Tuesday, February 15, this time airing[...]

Last week on NXT 2.0, we saw two different title pictures start to come together  Santos Escobar had a confrontation with NXT Champion Bron Breakker, where it appeared that the Legado del Fantasma leader has his sights set on Breakker's title  Meanwhile, both Cameron Grimes and Tony D'Angelo announced they were gunning for Carmelo Hayes' NXT North American title[...]

 Now Ali can be joined by another person currently under contract, former wrestler and recent NXT Producer Brian Kendrick, who has made a request to be released only for it to be ignored by the company. Brian Kendrick, seen here on the 12/21/21 NXT 2.0, has requested his release, courtesy of WWE. Brian Kendrick was still an active[...]

NXT 2.0 has had a great number of issues finding steady footing since the reboot debuted last year  There's been a lot of upheavals and rotating of faces (both on-screen and off), but one of the more steady presences in the new era has been that of Toxic Attraction  Since Mandy Rose arrived down in Orlando[...]

The transition from the "black and gold" era of NXT to the current rainbow splattered NXT 2.0 has not been the easiest of reboots, especially for those involved  Many backstage mainstays and respected minds behind the original product, from scouts and producers such as William Regal and "Road Dogg" Jesse James up to the brand's creator and leader, Triple H,[...]

 So did WWE immediately trash any and all plans to use the name upon learning of its nefarious past?  Nope!  On Tuesday's NXT 2.0, they planted it on the already firmly established and very popular WALTER. NXT star WALTER, seen here apparently changing his name to Gunther on NXT 2.0 this past Tuesday night, courtesy of WWE. WALTER's name[...]

Hey gang!  NXT 2.0 has been an unsteady product as of late to say the very least and with the continuing backstage shake-ups, it doesn't look to be getting any better any time soon  There are some bright spots though, such as the emergence of now NXT Champion Bron Breakker, who even the most grumpy of[...]

Hey gang!  Last week's NXT 2.0 was a pretty solid night of NXT action, where the show was filled with matches and some good ones at that  Tonight, we don't have as many matches announced beforehand, but there is one that's been scheduled that has a lot of people's intrigue: Walter taking on Roderick Strong[...]

 He first appeared for the company in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic Tournament before appearing in NXT to team with Lince Dorado in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic  From there he became a regular on 205 Live and faced Cedric Alexander for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at Wrestlemania 34. In 2018 he was called up to the SmackDown brand, where he worked programs[...]

Hey gang!  The Bron Breakker era of NXT has begun!  The new NXT Champion finally defeated rival Tommaso Ciampa for the title in last week's main event and now we will see what his plans are on his first night as the brand's top Champion  Who wants the first shot at the new Champ?  Who does the[...]

Because today's the day WWE NXT 2.0 superstar (and the thorn in A.J Styles' side) Grayson Waller became one of our favorite wrestlers of all time Don't get us wrong We don't agree with everything he's done (though we're all-in on letting the younger generation grab some spots), and he puts us in a difficult[...]

With Paul "Triple H" Levesque currently parked on his own special floor rug in Vince McMahon's dog house, Triple H's creation and personal passion project, NXT, has been in an ever-evolving state of flux since McMahon took over the development brand months ago  Last week, we learned of a number of backstage releases for the brand, including longtime WWE employees[...]
