NXT rebranded to NXT 2.0 in the fall of 2021 and has since featured a crop of new talent on display including Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Von Wagner, and others. The pivot in the tone of the company led to notable NXT talents like Adam Cole and and Kyle O’Reilly to leave the brand for AEW.
Last night at New Year’s Evil, Bron Breakker defeated Tommaso Ciampa to become the NXT Champion.
