WWE NXT 2.0 10/6/2021

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/09/wwe-nxt-20-9282021.html

I will just post some overall thoughts here.

 

The crowd clearly has some plants in there to help lead with the chants and stuff. It's working though and it makes sense to help get some newbies over.

The show was pretty good overall. If you are looking for the old NXT with the focus being on high rated matches each week, you won't enjoy this. But this is exactly what developmental needs to be. They've got a bunch of new people out there. They are giving them promo time, angles and gimmicks to work with and they are getting more comfortable with them by the week. It's only been a few weeks but people are already digging the Creed Brothers, Breakker and D'Angelo and it's hard not to call that a success.

 

Gacy's gimmick is starting to pick up some steam. It still needs some tuning but WWE clearly has some faith in him and this might just work. Tony D'Angelo was green but worked the crowd well and the crowd loved him. His match tonight was a perfect example of what you can get away with if the people like you. Bron Breakker did fine in his promo with Ciampa and I'm really excited to see if they have him beat Ciampa. He probably shouldn't as there's more legs to it if he chases him. Von Wagner is not working so far, but this is developmental and that's why he is there. He really would be aided by a mask or face paint as it's going to be tough for him due to his unusual face. Jensen is growing into his character and if he and Briggs can keep getting time, they should be okay.

I'm really enjoying this show and I think it's a major improvement over the old NXT. It has become my favorite show of the week.
