5 Things We HATE About WWE NXT 2.0 So Far

5. The Lack Of The "Old" NXT

While this may be an unfair criticism to level at a rebrand, the obvious lack of favour towards the NXT of old is evident in NXT 2.0.

The premiere episode on September 14th served as a reset button for the brand and tied up all the loose ends that were left from that era. The NXT Championship finding a new owner, the debuts of new stars like Von Wagner and Bron Breakker and the wedding of InDex.

From there, NXT has failed to capture what was special about the black and gold brand: the well thought out stories paired with high workrate matches. Essentially, WWE has stripped all of that away and we have something that is in no way connected to the show we fell in love with.

The closest we got to an old NXT match was Kushida vs. Roderick Strong for the Cruiserweight Championship. This match felt like it took place at full sail and gave fans a brief glimmer of what they longed for.
