3 things that can improve in WWE NXT 2.0 and 2 things that are working

#2. NXT 2.0 has introduced a variety of characters in the reboot.

One thing that the NXT reboot has done well is introduce a variety of characters. Andre Chase may seem goofy, but he's like a wrestling Tommy Knight. His bits on NXT 2.0 have been funny. The character mixes Drew Gulak with Timothy Thatcher.

Joe Gacy has been given the character of a new-age, woke male. It seemed very awkward at first but, as the weeks have progressed, it has improved. Adding Harland to the angle just gives Gacy's gimmick a new layer.

Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen are two Southern boys who like to drink and fight. The Creed Brothers are reminiscent of amateur wrestlers like Kurt Angle, Chad Gable, and Jack Swagger.

These are just a few examples of the new, character-based template for NXT 2.0. Tony D'Angelo's vignettes made him seem like a modern-day mobster. It was done with subtlety but was easy to read between the lines.

After a few weeks of vignettes, D'Angelo was met with cheers from the fans. Lash Legend has been presented as a gossip purveyor/talk show host. Even Cora Jade rode a skateboard down to the ring for her singles debut on NXT 2.0

Toxic Attraction is like Absolution; three ladies that just want to rule NXT. Looking good while doing it is just part of the job for Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne, and Mandy Rose.

One thing that the WWE main roster was lacking was a variety of characters. WWE had the likes of the Tribal Chief, the Fiend, and the delusional Seth Rollins. Outside of those personas, however, most of the performers had little character depth.

Most of the stars on the WWE main roster are good in the ring. What sets them apart, however, is a gimmick or character. NXT 2.0 is making sure that everyone they introduce has a defined direction. Some may not work, but having a variety of new faces on the show has certainly felt fresh.
