NXT 2.0 has featured a mixed bag of results.

#1. The new faces in NXT 2.0 have been mixed in well with established stars.

In NXT 2.0, it's easy to see that there's heavy emphasis on new stars. The likes of Tommaso Ciampa, Pete Dunne, and Kyle O'Reilly are still featured. It seems, however, that there is at least an equal amount of former NXT stars mixed in with the recruits.

So far, the bookers have done well mixing in those new faces with the established stars of NXT. Von Wagner took part in the NXT Championship match on the first episode of the reboot. He has since been paired with Kyle O'Reilly against Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne.

Bron Breakker has been pushed heavily from the onset of the reboot. He has proven that he can hang with the veterans, so it hasn't been a problem. If he looked unready, he would hopefully not have been thrust into the spotlight.

The former NCAA football fullback has done a good job alongside Tommaso Ciampa, and he'll be the first challenger for Ciampa at Halloween Havoc. Will that end with a title swap for the young star? It certainly could if management is looking to transition most of the titles to the new breed.

Ivy Nile won the Titan Games and is a physical specimen for her size. She's a bit smaller than a good portion of the women in WWE. Since she is new to wrestling, it took some time for her to learn the craft.

While Nile did make her debut recently, she still looked a little raw. For that reason, it was a good idea to be a part of a faction with Malcolm Bivens and Roderick Strong. Bivens is great on the mic and Roddy is a safe, trusted veteran of the ring.

Had the reboot featured only one or two of the stalwarts of NXT, it would have likely upset fans. A lot of the stars in NXT are beloved due to the time and effort they've put into the storytelling. Not every new star is ready for the big stage, but the current reboot has done well with mixing new stars with veterans.
