Update on the future of WWE NXT following change to 'white and gold'

There has been an apparent update on the future philosophy of WWE NXT, as it moves into its "white and gold" era.

NXT has undergone some huge changes throughout the past twelve months. Transitioning to NXT 2.0 at the tail end of 2021, it saw a number of considerable changes to its backroom staff and talent roster. Also changed were the brand's hiring policies and overall philosophy. It was decided that the former black-and-gold brand would revert to a development system with a new name and a new color scheme. They also focused on hiring young, non-wrestling athletes.

Following the creative takeover of Triple H, the brand once again changed its color scheme, seemingly to white-and-gold. Now, it appears more details have emerged on the future philosophy of NXT in its new era. According to The Wrestling Observer, the "2.0" that was added to the show's title is set to be dropped. The show will, however, continue its policy of only hiring younger talent.

“No more 2.0, it’s just NXT again. They’re going back to the old colors. But the same philosophy in the sense of mostly younger guys coming in, and younger women coming in and everything.” (H/T WrestleTalk)
