WWE reportedly planning to unveil a new-look NXT tonight
Are we entering a new era of WWE NXT tonight?
Last September, WWE introduced NXT 2.0 as a multi-colored brand and debuted several new competitors that we'd never seen before. The change was met with a largely adverse reaction from the WWE Universe due to the fans' love of Triple H's black and gold brand.
Following the one-year anniversary of NXT 2.0, the company revealed a new logo for the brand that has renewed the hopes of many fans looking for a return to form for the developmental brand.
On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez stated that WWE plans to reveal a "new set of some sort" for NXT this evening on the USA Network.
"As I talked about a couple of days ago, there's gonna be a new set of some sort," Bryan Alvarez said. "But I was told it will not be as dramatic as the switch from NXT 1.0 to NXT 2.0. Which would be quite the task because that was a pretty dramatic shift." [16:32 - 16:49]
