Past And Present NXT Stars React To Black And Gold Return

With NXT seemingly about to head back to it’s black and gold roots, a number of Superstars both past and present have reacted to the impending change.

On the September 13th edition of NXT 2.0 the rainbow coloured brand celebrated it’s one-year anniversary.

Almost one year ago to the day WWE’s third brand had undergone a significant makeover, which didn’t go well with a large number of fans. The show sharply veered away from being seen as an alternative to SmackDown and Raw, and again assumed the role of developmental.

The entire presentation of the show was changed and a whole raft of new performers were introduced. However, the show could be about to go back to the future.

On the special anniversary episode of the show video packages were played throughout celebrating the brand’s recent history. Then, following Solo Sikoa’s shock victory in the main event, one final package played, narrated by Shawn Michaels.

“NXT has been and always will be about developing the Superstars of tomorrow. While we will always reflect and acknowledge the past, NXT is constantly evolving with a focus on the future. Superstars develop and move on, but our message to our passionate fans will never change. We are NXT.”

The NXT 2.0 logo was shown on screen, being outlined with gold and changing to a solid white with gold outline as the 2.0 portion disappeared.

It remains to be seen what the shift back to NXT will mean for the show, but it’s yet another indication that Triple H is making major changes since taking over in the wake of Vince McMahon’s retirement.
