NXT: September 6, 2022

NXT had some excellent in-ring action tonight. The inclusion of the NXT UK top talent has injected some great change that NXT 2.0 really needed. One year in and NXT 2.0 has some shades of Black and Gold but we are still far away. That said, if we get six fun in-ring matches and promos that develop and progress stories, NXT is fine.
