![]() ![]() ![]() Hayes already had extensive wrestling experience outside of WWE as Christian Casanova, but Breakker (real name Bronson Rechsteiner, a former college football player) has been so impressive for someone just starting his career. They’re very charismatic wrestlers who are both good in the ring. Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Tony D’Angelo and Grayson Wallerīreakker and Hayes have been the two brightest stars of the NXT 2.0 rebrand. Here’s a full rundown of Sunday’s card, along with predictions for each match: WarGames match: Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne and LA Knight vs. All that really matters on the main roster is whether McMahon thinks you can be a star or not. The top wrestlers in NXT were all talented people who would have succeeded on Raw or SmackDown if given the chance, but that opportunity was never going to come for most of them. There was an obvious divide between the wrestlers NXT was producing and what McMahon thinks a main-roster star should be. Combined with losing the “Wednesday Night Wars” to AEW, the old NXT had lost much of its usefulness. The old NXT may have been a better show, but it was no longer serving that function of building up wrestlers for Raw and SmackDown. If the new NXT can provide Vince McMahon with the type of main-roster stars that he’s looking for, the rebrand will have been worth it for WWE. It’s a long-term project that’s meant to produce future WrestleMania main-eventers. But whether NXT 2.0 will be a success isn't going to be determined by the quality of the product in the moment. The established independent wrestling stars that NXT used to be built around are now there to help the new wrestlers get better.Ī two-hour weekly show on the USA Network provides a big platform for NXT’s new talent to either sink or swim. Some of the wrestlers from the previous era are still there, but it’s clear that the focus of NXT is now on developing younger talent. What Paul “Triple H” Levesque built into a legitimate third brand has now fully transformed into a developmental show. From the look of the show to the talent that is featured, NXT is a different place than it was before September’s revamp. The TakeOver name going away is another sign of just how much NXT has changed in a few short months. WWE has dropped the “NXT TakeOver” name, marking the end of a seven-year run that produced some of the best shows and matches in company history. While WarGames is returning for the fifth straight year, a hallmark of past NXT specials is noticeably absent. ![]() NXT WarGames will stream live on Peacock/WWE Network on Sunday night. NXT’s new era is set to reach a milestone with the brand’s first streaming special since its “2.0” facelift. ![]()
