#1 Best: Everybody hates Grayson Waller

The biggest positive from NXT 2.0 was the show-long thread of everybody hating Grayson Waller for his despicable attack on Johnny Gargano last week. Every single person Waller interacted with either walked away or reacted negatively. He has supreme heel heat, which was evident from his promo in the ring.

The NXT 2.0 fans are out for Grayson Waller's blood. The Australian even called out the commentators, with Vic Joseph being Gargano's best friend. We got a slight tease of Wade Barrett returning to the ring as well after Waller said he doesn't listen to his advice because it isn't 2010 anymore.

This run as a mega heel has got off to the best possible start for Grayson Waller, who got kicked out of the locker room. He did end the night by attacking LA Knight and stealing his date, though.


#1 Worst: Is this really the best use of Kushida on NXT 2.0?

Ad

Kushida arrived on NXT as one of the most renowned international stars in the wrestling world. However, a couple of years later, he is stuck in a comedy tag team. First off, Jacket Time is a poor name for any team.

Kushida and Ikemen Jiro's appearance on Lashing Out with Lash Legend wasn't exactly great too, as is their motto - Style Strong. At least they defeated The Grizzled Young Veterans on NXT 2.0.

Even that was a problem, specifically for GYV, who spent weeks finding ways to eat free food. Whatever that "journey" was, it hasn't translated to the ring in the slightest.
