NXT 2.0 Preview

Rivals become allies as Tommaso Ciampa & Bron Breakker take on GYV
A lot can happen between now and Halloween Havoc, and Bron Breakker wants to make sure Tommaso Ciampa is at his best when the two meet for the NXT Championship. So, when The Grizzled Young Veterans tried to intimidate The Blackheart, Breakker stepped in to back up the champ.

They may be on opposite sides of the ring come Oct. 26, but for now, Ciampa and Breakker will unite in an effort to take down GYV. Can the tentative allies work together long enough to earn a victory, or will Ciampa and Breakker head into Halloween Havoc less than 100 percent thanks to GYV?

Triple Threat Match to determine who spins the wheel
There has been no love lost between tag teams Io Shirai & Zoey Stark, Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta and Toxic Attraction’s Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne, as witnessed in last week’s melee. With a Triple Threat Match for the Women’s Tag Team Titles looming at Halloween Havoc, the stakes have just risen as one member of each duo will battle for the right to Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal.

But only one Superstar can test their fortune, so who will earn that right?

quote:

Odyssey Jones and Andre Chase set for Breakout Tournament Rematch
The rivalry between Odyssey Jones and Andre Chase runs deep ever since Jones got the better of Chase in the 2021 NXT Breakout Tournament.

Since that match, the founder of Chase University has been a perpetual thorn in Jones’ side, notably interfering in Jones’ recent match against LA Knight.

This Tuesday, Jones will finally get his hands on Chase, but will he end up being the next lesson at Chase University?

quote:

The tradition continues with Tony D’Angelo back in action
Tradition is everything to Tony D’Angelo, and the NXT newcomer is back to uphold the tradition following his impressive debut victory over Malik Blade.

Tune in to see the new made man of NXT 2.0 get the streets talking once again, as he steps into the ring for singles action

I CAN BOOK IT BETTER

That's not a plot hole. They always crashed into the Enterprise because they exited the wormhole at the precise time the Enterprise showed up.

The absolute best thing about James Drake is crowds singing “he’s got his own face on his arse” to the tune of the whole world in his hands, or “choo choo choo, James Drake is a wanker” to the tune of do the conga.

Without that, he’s nothing.

tbh that makes sense, when I first saw Zack Gibson (in a half-baked main event where he built up heat by insinuating that Andy Wild is a disappointment to his son) I really should have shouted out 'you're a Poundland Johnny Hungee'

granted, I didn't even know that John Silver existed at that time, but still,

I don't think "He had to feud with Randy Orton, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins" is a fair defense of Edge's return. Those are WWEs top guys! If he wasn't feuding with them it would be The Fiend and Baron Corbin! These are the guys he came back to work with!

I doubt it because he spent time in the NWA in between so he probably likes making money now.
