Who is Vince McMahon's new favorite Von Wagner?

Von Wagner is the son of veteran wrestler and former WWE Superstar Wayne Bloom. He has been a part of the company since 2019 when he signed a developmental deal.

Bloom made an appearance on SmackDown in 2020 and has been a hit with Vince McMahon ever since. However, after not appearing on television for over a year, it looks like he is finally set to get a major push in NXT.

NXT 2.0 made it clear that Vince McMahon will be moving forward with his vision of pushing younger and bigger talent on the show. Multiple young superstars including Wagner, Bron Breakker and B-Fab showcased their skills on the show.

Wagner faced NXT veterans such as Tommaso Ciampa, Pete Dunne and LA Knight in the main event of the first episode of NXT 2.0. While the young superstar came up short, he made a major impression on fans as well as WWE management.
