Tonight marks the first episode of WWE NXT after a surprise change was announced at the end of last week’s episode: The “2.0” branding appears to be on its way out as Shawn Michaels announced a new “evolution”. Tonight’s card (and even the graphics that WWE.com is using to promote them) don’t seem much different just yet, but nevertheless, change is in the air at the Performance Center.
Let’s take a look at the card for September 20th, 2022’s edition of NXT:
Sanga vs. Von Wagner
From WWE.com:
Irate after being passed over by the WWE Universe for a North American Title opportunity, Von Wagner tried to join Sanga, Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz in venting his frustrations.
While Sanga attempted to console an injured Leon and inspire Feroz for a singles run, Wagner stormed in to put the focus on him, but he became irritated as Sanga repeatedly cut him off to prevent him from cursing in front of the tag team partners.
When it became apparent Wagner did not care about Sanga, Leon or Feroz and more about finding a more physical way of blowing off steam, Mr. Stone stepped in to save the altercation for a later date.
Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley vs. Toxic Attraction
From WWE.com:
Ivy Nile’s bite has most Superstars shook, but her bark on social media caught the attention of Toxic Attraction.
After The Pitbull of Diamond Mine relished in Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne’s loss to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions on SmackDown, the toxic duo want Nile to back up her big talk in the ring alongside partner Tatum Paxley.
Will the powerhouse duo of Nile & Paxley put Toxic Attraction in their place, or will Dolin & Jayne pick up a decisive victory on the road back to the NXT Tag Team Titles?
Wendy Choo vs. Cora Jade
From WWE.com:
Cora Jade claims that the first year of NXT 2.0 was just the beginning of her new generation and that year two will start in a similar fashion when she beats Wendy Choo. Unimpressed, the sleepy Superstar fired back that the only person living in “The Generation of Jade” was Jade herself.
Can Choo spoil the start of year two for “The Generation of Jade”?
Nathan Frazer vs. Axiom
From WWE.com:
After a thrilling start to their friendly competition, Nathan Frazer and Axiom will square off once again in the second match of their best-of-three series.
Axiom earned the series lead following a fast-paced opening match that saw the masked Superstar dig deep into his extensive collection of submissions before clocking Frazer with a flying forearm and kick in quick succession to pick up the pinfall.
Can Frazer level the score when the two square off for a second time, or will Axiom sweep the series?
Tyler Bate vs. JD McDonagh
From WWE.com:
Two former NXT UK rivals are set to collide as Tyler Bate looks to pay back JD McDonagh for his surprise attack following Bate’s tag team victory.
The Irish Ace leveled Bate with a Devil Inside before staring down The Big Strong Boi’s tag team partner, NXT Champion Bron Breakker. The sadistic McDonagh went on to explain his actions, stating he still has his sights on the champion Breakker and must remove Bate from the NXT Title picture.
Can Bate strike a decisive blow to McDonagh’s title plans, or will The Irish Ace remove a major roadblock in his path to the top?
