Hitting Some Stars

 Into the fourth of six packs in the 2022 NXT 2.0 blaster, and we happily get another handful of base additions.


Doesn't get much bigger than Roman as far as NXT alumni go. A night and day between who he was back in his NXT days and the OTC of recent Bloodline times. It's a journey for sure, and seeing the evolution of character and growth in ability to connect, and perform, is amazing and one of the great things to see in performers over the long run of their careers.


A nice green parallel, but a shame Cora Jade was released earlier this year after 4 years with WWE. As far as I could last tell, she's still wrestling away and working at it, so will be interesting to see if she finds her way back to a main company.

Look at all that purple lighting on the cards! Part of the whole 2.0 NXT run was a change in colours, scheme, graphics, etc, and all looks too psychedelic. Stands out but not necessarily for good reason. Glad they pulled back on a lot of it - too bad I didn't need any of these, but you have good star power with Solo, who has been pushed hard and well enough on the main roster, Mandy Rose who was a shame to see pushed out, and Roxanne Pereze who saw a few solid storylines on the main roster this year.

A good pack, though not great for my personal collection, but I am starting to get a solid starter on this base set to trade to someone if anyone is interested.
