Pack three of five from the WWE NXT 2.0 2022 box and we get what we should expect - a bunch of new cards - yay!
For those who don't follow wrestling, NXT was the "minor league" for WWE starting in about 2010 after previously using a relationship with a couple smaller promotions from which to get and train talent (think FCW and OVW - if you know, you know). NXT was really bringing it in house and making a run of it as a third show/promotion within the WWE brand.
NXT was originally black and gold themed, and this lasted until the great brand re-do in Feb 2021 when "2.0" was introduced. It was like a re-set done to revamp the brand and image and make it more "next generational"
I was never a fan of it and always loved the original look and gritty feel. 2.0 was too colourful and flashy and seemed to be about the stars being their best there instead of being their best to move on from there. Many stars had a great time through the NXT system, and though some stayed there for longer than others, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, many of the stars now spent some time there growing and many went on to great main event success - Finn - would have been a much different main event run if it wasn't for the 1 day Universal Title drop which you suffered due to injury, but you finally rebounded greatly with Judgement Day.
Here are a couple stars that, since NXT time have already done quite well on the main roster. I find it amazing looking at WALTER's physique even in this card compared to where he is at now on the main roster - such a transformation. He was a big guy in NXT, he may not weight the same now, but still a big guy, just crazy fit too.
May not have any amazing pulls yet, but this pack was very solid at least!
