#1. NXT 2.0 should cut down on introducing so many new performers all at once.

While it's good to see new faces in NXT, the reboot has forced too many new names into the picture. They already have a great roster with stars including Ciampa, O'Reilly, Dunne, Cameron Grimes, MSK, Grizzled Young Veterans, LA Knight, and Dexter Lumis.

That's not even considering the women of NXT. Raquel Gonzalez, Io Shirai, Franky Monet, Zoey Stark, Indi Hartwell, and Ember Moon are all talented veterans of the brand.

It's already a tough job of fitting those names into the two hours of NXT. The reboot has tried too hard to introduce too many new faces. In about a month, there have been around 15 new stars in the reboot.

Stars like Wagner, Breakker, Nile, the Creed Brothers, and Tony D'Angelo have been pushed. Alongside those performers, we've met Dante Chen, Lash Legend, Xyon Quinn, Trick Williams, Harland, and Brooks Jensen.

These are just 11 names we've encountered in the NXT reboot. Performers including Grayson Waller, Joe Gacy, Cora Jade, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne, Odyssey Jones, and Josh Briggs appeared briefly before the reboot. During the latest episode, there was a vignette for another new star, Solo Sikoa.

If the people behind the reboot want fans to get behind the newer stars, the focus should be put around only five or six at a time. With so many new people to encounter, it's hard to invest in someone when they only show up once a month.

A few stars should get focus for about a month and then show up now and then. That will allow fans a chance to see if they like the star or not.

That's why some stars are featured now and then on RAW or SmackDown. The top stars and Champions get most of the spotlight, but the rest are worked in and out of the lineup.

On the main roster, stars usually debut after a big event. Since so many new names have been introduced right away, it has muddled the field a bit. Chen's debut and Legend's appearances could have been held off.

It's great to see new faces on any brand in WWE. With so many so fast, however, it's been hard to keep track of everyone.
